Introduction and Precautions
The FT-8800R has been carefully aligned at the factory for the specified performance
across the 144 MHz and 430 MHz amateur bands. Realignment should therefore not be
necessary except in the event of a component failure. All component replacement and
service should be performed only by an authorized Yaesu representative, or the
warranty policy may be voided.
The following procedures cover the sometimes critical and tedious adjustments that
are not normally required once the transceiver has left the factory. However, if damage
occurs and some parts are replaced, realignment may be required. If a sudden problem
occurs during normal operation, it is likely due to component failure; realignment
should not be done until after the faulty component has been replaced.
We recommend that servicing be performed only by authorized Yaesu service
technicians who are experienced with the circuitry and fully equipped for repair and
alignment. Therefore, if a fault is suspected, contact the dealer from whom the
transceiver was purchased for instructions regarding repair. Authorized Yaesu service
technicians realign all circuits and make complete performance checks to ensure
compliance with factory specifications after replacing any faulty components.
Those who do undertake any of the following alignments are cautioned to proceed at
their own risk. Problems caused by unauthorized attempts at realignment are not
covered by the warranty policy. Also, Yaesu must reserve the right to change circuits
and alignment procedures in the interest of improved performance, without notifying
owners.
Under no circumstances should any alignment be attempted unless the normal
function and operation of the transceiver are clearly understood, the cause of the
malfunction has been clearly pinpointed and any faulty components replaced, and the
need for realignment determined to be absolutely necessary.

Required Test Equipment
The following test equipment (and thorough familiarity with its correct use) is
necessary for complete realignment. Correction of problems caused by misalignment
resulting from use of improper test equipment is not covered under the warranty policy.
While most steps do not require all of the equipment listed, the interactions of some
adjustments may require that more complex adjustments be performed afterwards. Do
not attempt to perform only a single step unless it is clearly isolated electrically from all
other steps. Have all test equipment ready before beginning, and follow all of the steps
in a section in the order presented.
Regulated DC Power Supply: adjustable from 10 to 17 VDC, 15 A
RF Signal Generator with calibrated output level at 500 MHz
Frequency Counter: ±0.1 ppm accuracy at 500 MHz
AF Signal Generator
SINAD Meter
Oscilloscope
Spectrum Analyzer
Deviation Meter (linear detector)
AF Milivoltmetr
AF Dummy Load: 4-Ohm, 5 W
DC Voltmeter: high impedance
Inline Wattmeter with 5% accuracy at 500 MHz
50-Ohm non-reactive Dummy Load: 100 watts at 500 MHz
VHF/UHF Sampling Coupler
Alignment Preparation & Precautions
A dummy load and inline wattmeter must be connected to the main antenna jack in
all procedures that call for transmission, except where specified otherwise. Correct
alignment is not possible with an antenna. After completing one step, read the following
step to determine whether the same test equipment will be required. If not, remove the
test equipment (except dummy load and wattmeter, if connected) before proceeding.
Correct alignment requires that the ambient temperature in the repair shop be the
same as that of the transceiver and test equipment, and that this temperature be held
constant between 20 °C and 30 °C (68 °C ~ 86 °F). When the transceiver is brought into
the shop from hot or cold air it should be allowed some time for thermal equalization
with the environment before alignment. If possible, alignments should be made with

oscillator shields and circuit boards firmly affixed in place. Also, the test equipment
must be thoroughly warmed up before beginning.
Notes: Signal levels in dB referred to in alignment are based on 0 dBµ = 0.5 µV.
All items tune and/or adjust by Auto-Tuning Mode or Manual Tuning Mode.
PLL Reference Frequency
With the wattmeter, dummy load and frequency counter connected to the antenna
jack.
Tune the transceiver 435.05 MHz (Main-Band) / 868.95 MHz (Sub-Band) and set
the TX power level to low power mode.
Key the transceiver, adjust the counter frequency is within ±100 Hz of 435.05 MHz.
Transmitter Deviation
With the wattmeter, dummy load and deviation meter connected to the antenna
jack.
Inject a 1 kHz audio signal as a level of 80 mV to pin 5 of the MIC jack (pin 4 is
Ground).
Key the transmitter on 146.05/440.05 MHz. Adjust the frequency deviation is
within 4.0-4.4 KHz on the deviation meter.
CTCSS Deviation
With the wattmeter, dummy load and deviation meter connected to the antenna
jack.
Key the transmitter on 146.05/440.05 MHz. Adjust the frequency deviation is
within 0.65-0.75 KHz on the deviation meter.
DCS Deviation
With the wattmeter, dummy load and deviation meter connected to the antenna
jack.
Key the transmitter on 146.05/440.05 MHz. Adjust the frequency deviation is
within 0.50-0.60 KHz on the deviation meter.

Transmitter Power
With the power meter, dummy load and deviation meter connected to the antenna
jack.
Key the transmitter on 146.05 / 440.05 MHz. Adjust the output power is within 50
±0.5 W (144 MHz) / 35 ±0.5 W (430MHz) on the power meter. (HI)
Key the transmitter on 146.05 / 440.05 MHz. Adjust the output power is within 20
±0.5 W on the power meter. (MID2)
Key the transmitter on 146.05 / 440.05 MHz. Adjust the output power is within 10
±0.5 W on the power meter. (MID1)
Key the transmitter on 146.05 / 440.05 MHz. Adjust the output power is within 5
±0.5 W on the power meter. (LOW)
Receiver Sensitivity
With the dummy load and SINAD meter connected to the external speaker jack.
Inject a RF signal as a level of –7 dBµV to the antenna jack.
Tune the receiver on 146.05 / 440.05 MHz. Adjust the SINAD is above 12 dB on the
SINAD meter.
