RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC out-

let. This may pose a ﬁre hazard or result in an electric shock.

RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a

vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may

result in an accident.

AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in

areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

I Your ﬁrst contact

Now that you have your IC-208H installed in your car or

shack, you are probably excited to get on the air. We would

like to take you through a few basic operation steps to make

your ﬁrst “On The Air” an enjoyable experience.

2. Selecting the operating frequency band

The IC-208H has 2 m and 70 cm transmittable bands.

[BAND]

1. Turning ON the transceiver

Before powering up your IC-208H, you may want to make

sure the audio volume and squelch level controls are set in

9–10 o’clock positions.

Push [BAND] to select the desired frequency band.

➥ Push [BAND] to select the desired frequency band.

[VOL]

[SQL]

Using the HM-133

You can select the desired frequency band from the HM-133.

Set [VOL] and [SQL] controls to 9–10 o’clock positions.

Although you have purchased a brand new transceiver, some

settings may be changed from the factory defaults because

of the QC process. Resetting the CPU is necessary to start

from factory default.

Push

[SET•LOCK]

[PWR]

[S.MW•MW]

While pushing [SET•LOCK] and [S.MW•MW], turn power ON.

➥ While pushing both [SET•LOCK] and [S.MW•MW], push

[PWR] for 1 sec. to reset the CPU.

I Rear Panel

rANTENNA CONNECTOR [ANT]

Connects a 50 Ω antenna with a PL-259 connector and a

50 Ω coaxial cable.

ANTENNA INFORMATION

For radio communications, the antenna is of critical impor-

tance, to maximize your output power and receiver sensi-

tivity. The transceiver accepts a 50 Ω antenna and less

than 1:1.5 of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). High

SWR values not only may damage the transceiver but also

lead to TVI or BCI problems.

qDATA SOCKET [DATA]

tPOWER RECEPTACLE [DC13.8V]

Accepts 13.8 V DC 15% with the supplied DC power

cable.

Connects a TNC (Terminal Node Controller), etc. for data

communications.

• See p. 6 for connection information.

ꢀ NOTE: DO NOT use a cigarette lighter socket as a

power source when operating in a vehicle. The plug

may cause voltage drops and ignition noise may be su-

perimposed onto transmit or receive audio.

wEXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK [SP]

Connects an 8 Ω speaker.

• Audio output power is more than 2.0 W.

eCOOLING FAN

Rotates while transmitting.

Also rotates while receiving depending on the setting in ini-

tial set mode. (p. 63)

• To avoid unnecessary TNC transmission, connect squelch to the

TNC to inhibit transmission when receiving signals.

REPEATER OPERATION

I General

Repeaters allow you to extend the operational range of your

radio because a repeater has much higher output power than

the typical transceiver.

• Repeater operation ﬂow chart

Step 1:

Normally, a repeater has independent frequencies for each

receiver and transmitter.

Set the desired band to operate the repeater.

A subaudible tone may also be required to access a repeater.

Step 2:

Reference amateur radio hand books and local ham maga-

zines for details of local repeaters such as repeater input/out-

put frequencies and locations.

Set the desired receive frequency (repeater output frequency).

Repeater example;

Receives the 444.540 MHz signal

and the detected audio signals are

transmitted on 449.540 MHz simul-

taneously.

Step 3:

Set the duplex (shifting) direction (– duplex or +duplex).

- Set the offset frequency (shifting value), if required.

Step 4:

Set the subaudible tone (repeater tone) encoder function ON.

- Set the subaudible tone frequency, if required.

• The IC-208H USA version has the auto repeater function. Thus the

steps 3 and 4 may not be necessary, depending on the setting.

• Repeater settings can be stored into a memory channel.

MEMORY OPERATION

I General description

The transceiver has 512 memory channels including 10 scan

edge memory channels (5 pairs), and 2 call channels. Each of

these channels can be individually programmed with operat-

ing frequency (pgs. 11, 12), duplex direction (p. 21) and off-

set (p. 24), subaudible tone encoder or tone squelch and its

tone frequency (pgs. 20, 22, 52, 53) and skip information*

(p. 44).

Key-touch beep

U.S.A. version only

Auto repeater

The key-touch beep can be turned OFF for silent operation.

The auto repeater function automatically turns ON or OFF the

duplex operation with a speciﬁed shift direction and tone en-

coder, when the operating frequency falls within or outside of

145.200–145.495, 146.610–146.995, 147.000–147.395,

442.000–444.995, and 447.000–449.995 MHz range. The off-

set and repeater tone frequencies are not changed by the

auto repeater function, reset these frequencies, if necessary.

Time-out timer

To prevent accidental prolonged transmission, etc., the trans-

ceiver has a time-out timer. This function cuts a transmission

OFF after 1–30 min. of continuous transmission. This timer

Auto power OFF

The transceiver can be set to automatically turn OFF after a

speciﬁed period with a beep when no key operations are per-

formed.

30 min., 1 hour, 2 hours and OFF can be speciﬁed. The spec-

ified period is retained even when the transceiver is turned

NOAA broadcast stations transmit weather alert tones before

important weather announcements. When the weather alert

function is turned ON, the selected weather channel is moni-

alternately and sounds a beep tone until the transceiver is op-

erated. The previously selected (used) weather channel is

checked periodically during standby or while scanning.

t Turn the weather alert function OFF in set mode.

ꢀ NOTE: While receiving a signal (on a frequency other than

the weather alert ON frequency), the receiving signal or

audio will be interrupted momentarily every 5 sec. (approx.)

in case the alert function is turned ON. This symptom is

caused by the WX alert function. To cancel these symp-

toms, set the weather alert item OFF in set mode.

• When using a deviation meter:

Adjust the output of the TNC so that frequency deviation

is in the range 3 to 4 kHz.

• Disconnect the microphone plug from the microphone

connector during data transmission, otherwise the data

signal and voice signal are simultaneously transmitted.

• When NOT using a deviation meter:

For 9600 bps operation—

A receiver or transceiver is needed to monitor the trans-

mission—compare the received audio output level when

receiving a TNC modulated signal with high level voice

signals using the microphone. Then adjust the TNC mod-

ulated signal to a lower level than the voice modulated

signal.

• When the transceiver is set for 9600 bps data transmis-

sion in set mode, the microphone signal is automatically

cut. Therefore, it is not necessary to disconnect the mi-

crophone plug from the connector in this case.

•

When pushing [PTT] during data transmission, data trans-

mission is interrupted and voice signals have priority.

^{OTHER FUNCTIONS}11

D Adjusting the transmit signal output from

the TNC

When setting data transmission speed to 9600 bps, the data

signal coming from the TNC is applied exclusively to the in-

ternal limiter circuitry to automatically maintain band width.

NEVER apply data levels from the TNC of over the accept-

able level below, otherwise the transceiver will not be able to

maintain the band width and may possibly interfere with other

stations.

1. When using a level meter or synchroscope, adjust the

TX audio output level (DATA IN level) from the TNC as

follows.

2 Vp-p (1 Vrms)

: recommended level

1 Vp-p–3 Vp-p (0.5–1.5 Vrms)

: acceptable level

2. When NOT using a measuring device.

q Connect the transceiver to a TNC.

w Enter a test mode (“CAL,” etc.) on the TNC, then trans-

mit some test data.

e When the transceiver fails to transmit the test data or

transmits sporadically (TX indicator doesn’t appear or

ﬂashes):

- Decrease the TNC output level until the transmit indi-

cator lights continuously.

When transmission is not successful even though the

TX indicator lights continuously:

- Increase the TNC output level.
