Programmable Memory Channel Scan (PMS) Registering to the Programmable Memory Channels 50 sets of PMS memory channels (L1/U1 to L50/U50) are available. To specify a range of frequencies to scan, register the lower limit frequency to a memory channel L1 to L50 and the upper limit frequency to a memory channel U1 to U50. Make sure to use the corresponding numbers for the lower and upper limit memory channels. PMS memory channels (L1/U1 to L50/U50) are listed after memory channel 999.
Programmable Memory Channel Scan (PMS) Tips • When a skip memory channel (see page 77) is registered to [L] or [U], or when the lower/upper limit frequency is not properly registered, program memory channel scanning does not function. • Press and hold the key for over one second to enter Set mode, then configure the following operating preference settings.
Digital Group Monitor Function Using the Digital GM Function What is the GM function? The Digital GM (Group Monitor) function automatically checks on the air to find if there are other transceivers operating with the GM function on the same frequency within communication range. When other GM stations are detected, the direction, distance, and other information for each detected call sign is displayed on the LCD.
Standard Operation of the GM Function In range Out of range Distance Direction Example of display when ALL is selected Registering IDs of Friends in a Group and Displaying Only Registered GM Users Create a group with a name such as [Touring] or [Camp] and display only members registered to that group. Group name Example of display when GROUP is set For details on how to setup a group and register members to it, refer to the GM Function Instruction Manual which is available on the Yaesu website.
Using the APRS / WIRES-X Functions The APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) Function The FT2DR/DE uses a GPS receiver to acquire and display its position location information. APRS is a communication system that transmits the position information, data and messages, using the format developed by Bob Bruninga WB4APR.
Using the GPS Function The GPS Function GPS (Global Positioning System) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information anywhere on the earth. It was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense as a military system. When the GPS receiver acquires signals from 3 or more (of about 30) GPS satellites orbiting at an altitude of about 20,000 km, it can calculate and display its current position (latitude, longitude, and altitude) within a tolerance of several meters.
Activating the GPS Function Tips • Your position information provided by GPS can be registered to 10 memory channels (P1 to P10). For details, refer to the APRS Function Instruction Manual. The registered position information can be set as the position of your station. • When the GPS function is active, the power consumption increases by about 30 mA. As a result, the battery life is reduced by about 20% compared to when the GPS function is deactivated.
Method of Positioning by GPS Displaying Position Information of Remote Stations in Digital Mode With V/D mode of the C4FM digital, the GPS position information is transmitted simultaneously with voice signals; therefore the direction and position of the remote station can be displayed in real-time even while communicating. For details, see “Real-Time Navigation Function” on page 93.
Method of Positioning by GPS Saving GPS Information (GPS Log Function) The GPS position information can automatically be saved periodically onto a microSD memory card. Using the saved data, tracks can be displayed on commercially available map software*. * Technical support for the map software is not provided by YAESU. 1 See “Activating the GPS Function” on page 86, and activate the GPS function. 2 Press the key for over one second. The transceiver enters Set mode. 3 Touch [CONFIG]. 4 Touch [6 GPS LOG].
Method of Positioning by GPS Checking Tracks on Your PC 1 Turn off the transceiver. 2 Remove the microSD memory card from the transceiver. 3 Connect the microSD memory card to your PC using a commercially available memory card reader. 4 Open the “FT2D” folder in the microSD memory card. 5 Open the “GPSLOG” folder. The data is saved as “GPSyymmddhhmmss.log”. The [yymmddhhmmss] part of the name consists of year (yy), month (mm), day (dd), hour (hh), minute (mm), and second (ss).
GPS Screen Information and Operation Activating the GPS function displays the following information on the LCD. ➀ ➁ ➂ ➃ ➄ ④ ② ⑤ ③ ⑥ Displays the satellite azimuth and elevation angles. Displays in North-up mode. Displays the date and time. Displays the current speed. Displays the satellite number and reception level.

TNC EAR 10ȣF MIC 2 kΩ SP GND MIC PTT GND After connecting the TNC to the transceiver, set the output signal level to the TNC by adjusting the sound volume level of your transceiver.
Clone Operation Data and various settings saved in your transceiver can be copied to any other FT2DR/ DE transceiver. DATA terminal DATA terminal 1 Turn off the power of both FT2DR/DE transceivers, then connect an optional clone cable (CT-168) to the DATA terminal of each transceiver. keys on both FT2DR/DE transceivers, press . The two transceivers are turned on and placed in the clone mode. Touch [RECEIVE] on the receiving side transceiver and [SEND] on the transmitting side. Data copy starts.
Connecting an External Device Connecting to a PC Exporting position location information received by the FT2DR/DE internal GPS unit To enable data transfers, connect a Personal Computer to the DATA terminal of the transceiver with the optional PC connection cable (SCU-19), as described below. To output location information data from the internal GPS unit, change Set mode [APRS] → [17 COM PORT SETTING] from [OUTPUT] to [GPS].
Connecting an External Device Connecting to an External Device The location information data can be exchanged with commercially available GPS receivers or other external devices by using the optional Data Cable (CT-170).
