| HIGH-PERFORMANCE
RECEIVER |
| Sporting wide dynamic
range for today's crowded bands, the receiver front end utilises
a GaAs MES FET device (SGM-2016) for excellent sensitivity, allowing you
greater simplex range and access to distant repeaters. |
| USER-PROGRAMMABLE
FUNCTION KEYS |
 Now
you can configure your radio's control keys for the way you want them to
operate! Using the FT-90R's Menu system, the functions assigned to the
front panel's [<] and [>] keys, as well as the microphone's [P1], [P2]
and [ACC] keys, can be customised by the user for a number of operating
tasks, such as TX Power, Repeater Shift, CTCSS / DCS Tones, Priority Channel
monitoring, VFO / Memory selection, and (European) 1750-Hz Tone Calling. |
| HIGH-CAPACITY
MEMORY SYSTEM |
 The
FT-90R Memory system includes 180 Regular" memories, plus two pairs of
"Band Limit" memories, and a one-touch Home channel on each band, for a
total of 186 memories. The memory channels store frequency, repeater shift,
power level, CTCSS / DCS Tone information, and an Alpha / Numeric label
with as many as 7 characters - including both upper and lower case characters!
You can even store the Packet baud rate, if operating on a data channel. |
| ULTRA-COMPACT
REMOTE-HEAD CAPABILITY |
 Using
the optional YSK-90 Separation Kit, you can mount the FT-90R's front panel
on the vehicle's dash board, then stow the radio's body in a convenient
place, Measuring just 100 x 30 x 20 mm (3.9" x 1.2" x 0.8"), and weighing
70g (less than 2 1/2 oz.), the FT-90R's front panel can be mounted just
about anywhere! |
| BUILT-IN
CTCSS AND DCS ENCODER/DECODERS |
| For repeater access,
quiet monitoring of busy channels, or selective calling, the FT-90R includes
both CTCSS and DCS (Digital Code Squelch) Encoder and Decoder circuits.
The Encoder/ Decoder status and Tone Frequency or Code Number may be stored
in memory. For European repeaters requiring a 1750-Hz calling tone, this
may be activated from one of the Programmable keys. |
| AUTO-RANGE
TRANSPONDER SYSTEM (ARTS™) |
| The ARTS"' feature provides
an audible confirmation of "in-range" or "out-of-range" status with other
ARTS™-equipped stations. For Search- And-Rescue operations, ARTS™ will
send out a periodic transponder signal (including DCS code) to a field
hand-held unit, and if the other station moves out of simplex communication
range, you can use the FT-90R's higher power to advise the other station
to move to a better location. ARTS™ will also send a CW identification
of your callsign, if desired. |
| RF
SQUELCH MUTING SYSTEM |
| The FT-90R Menu system
allows you to set the Squelch (receiver muting) system to open at a user-defined
signal level (S-3, S-5, or Full Scale), helping to keep your receiver quiet
when you're working strong, local stations. |
|
| VERSATILE
SCANNING SYSTEM FOR TODAY'S ACTIVE DUAL-BAND OPERATOR |
-
VFO Scan: Scan the entire band,
stopping on busy channels.
-
Memory Scan: Scan the memory channels,
with the option to "skip" constantly-active channels like weather beacons,
etc.
-
Programmable Memory Scan: Scan
(or tune manually) within band limits established by two different pairs
of special memories. For example, this allows you to scan just the FM portion
of each band, avoiding encroachment on SSB/CW sub-bands.
-
Priority Channel Watch: Periodically
check Channel 001 activity while on a different memory channel (or the
VFO).
-
Smart Search: When visiting a city
for the first time, Smart Search will sweep the band, automatically loading
busy channels into a special 50-channel memory bank.

| DIRECT
KEYPAD FREQUENCY ENTRY |
| When using the MH-36B6J
DTMF Microphone (supplied in the U.S. version), you may enter VFO frequencies
directly from the microphone's keypad. You can also key in memory channel
numbers for instant recall! On transmit, the MH-36B6J serves as a DTMF
encoding keypad, and the FT-90R also provides an 8-channel 16-digit DTMF
Autodialer! |
| BATTERY
VOLTAGE METER |
 When
the FT-90R is first switched on, the display momentarily will show you
the DC supply voltage. During operation, you can check the DC input voltage
at any time by pressing the "DISP" key on the front panel. |
| EXTENDED
RECEIVE COVERAGE WITH AM DETECTOR |
 Besides
full coverage of the 2-meter and 70-cm Amateur bands, the FT-90R's receiver
provides extended coverage of 100-230 MHz, 300-530 MHz, and 810-999.975
MHz. And the built-in AM detector allows monitoring of aircraft communications
while tuning the aeronautical bands! |
| AUTOMATIC
POWER-OFF (APO) BATTERY SAVER |
| To prevent depletion
of your vehicle's battery if you forget to turn off the radio, the FT-90R
includes an Automatic Power-Off (APO) feature, which will automatically
turn the radio off after an operator defined period of 1 - 12 hours. |
| TIME-OUT
TIMER (TOT) |
| The Time-Out timer prevents
an accidental "stuck microphone" condition from causing interference to
other users. If the transmitter is keyed beyond the TOT cutoff time, the
transmitter will be disengaged automatically. The TOT feature's cutoff
interval is adjustable, in one-minute increments, up to a maximum of one
hour. |
