y AESU MODEL FT -227RA

The FT-227RA is an adaptation of the FT-227R which provides expanded memory capability as well as scanning
capability. The scanner will search for a busy or clear channel, as desired, or will scan indefinitely until halted by
a pressof the microphone PTT switch.

The foliowing changes in the FT -227R Instruction Manual should be observed. Apart from these changes, operation
is identical to that of the FT -227R.

1. All referencesto "FT-227R" should read "FT-227RA".

2. The microphone supplied with the FT -227RA contains up/down scanner cøntrols. The microphone plug and jack
in the FT -227RA contain 6 pins, compared to 4 pins for the FT -227R.
3. The FT-227RA FUNCTION switch has memory positions M1, M2, M3, and M4, as shown. Also on the FUNCTION
switch are :!:600kHz repeater positions.
4 The bottom of the cabinet contains the HI/LOW RF output switch, as well as the BUSY-MAN-CLEAR scanning
select switch.
5. Page 18, "PLL CONTROL SECTION", should have its first paragraph modified to read: "The optical coupling
system utilizes two photo-interruptors 02 and 03 (both ON-1105) to generate two signaloutputs which are
amplified by 04 and 05 (both 2SC1815Y) and applied to the PLL control unit.
6. The FT -227RA block diagram, schematic diagram, and parts list should be referred to for correct information.

FT-227RA OPERATION

For scanner operation, proceed as foliows. Place the BUSY-MAN-CLEAR switch in the MAN position, and the MR
switch should be OFF. Pressing the UP button for an instant will cause a shift of 10kHz upwards. Holding the UP
button down for more than Y2second will initiate scanning higher in frequency. Pressthe UP button once again to halt
the scan at the desired frequency.

Pressingthe DN switch in the same manner will causescanning toward a lower frequency.

Placing the scanning select switch in the BUSY position will causethe scan to be halted whenever the squelch is tripped
by a signal on the frequency being scanned. Placing the switch in the CLEAR position will causethe scan to be halted
when the receiver is muted (no signal present). When the optional tone squelch is used, the scan will be halted according
to the condition of the~squelch, not the tone squelch.

For memory operation, proceed as foliows. Memory channels M1 - M3 are for simplex operation only. With the MR
switch OF F, dial in the desired frequency, press M, and then the frequency will be stored in the channel selected by the
FUNCTION switch. For instant return to the simplex frequency, press MR.

Memory channelM4 can be usedfor repeateroperation.Storethe repeaterUPLINK (input) frequencyin channelM4,

then rota.te the dial to the repeater downlink frequency. With the M R switch OFF, you will now be transmitting on
the memorized frequency, and receiving on the dial frequency. Pressingthe M R button puts you on the memorized
frequency for both transmit and receive.

The ::!:600kHzpositions of the FUNCTION switch are used only for securing repeater offset onthe dial frequencies.

For selection of 10 watts or 1 watt of AF output, place the HI/LOW switch in the HI or LOW position, respectively

 ADDENDUM TO FT-227R INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Th.is transceiver has been mod.if.ied .in arder to make the tone
access feature for repeater operation more convenient for
repeater operation .in your area. The follow.ing changes is
operat.ion of your unit should be noted.

l. The TONE SO feature has been eliminated.

2. The TONE BURST feature has been changed. The necessary tone
for accessing repeaters is now provided through the front
panel CALL button. pressing this button activates the
transce.iver PTT relay and transmits a tone of 1750 Hz for
as long as the button is depressed.

3. The rear panel BURST ON-OFF switch has been removed. The
CALL feature is always in operation.

4. As in the or,iginal model, the audio frequency of the tone

may be adjusted by varying VR207.
