The only sure way to determine the version of a particular radio is to read the data in the radio first and examine the COMMON DATA. The channel data can then be altered and the radio re- programmed. IF YOU PROGRAM THE RADIO WITH THE WRONG COMMON DATA CONFIGURATION, THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK. The frequency range for both versions is as follows: Prior to lot 3: VHF: 150 - 170 MHz UHF: 450 - 470 MHz Lot 3 and later: VHF: 134 - 174 MHz UHF: 400 - 500 MHz The FTH-2070 is programmed using the 2070.EXE program. To start the software from the DOS prompt, type: C:> 2070 The main menu will appear with the following selections: YAESU FTH-2070 EEPROM DATA EDITOR [1] Add/Change Channel Data [2] View/Change Common Data [3] Send Data to Transceiver [4] Read Data from Transceiver [5] Load Channel Data from Disk [6] Save Channel Data to Disk [7] Display/Print All Data [8] Quit Select a number [ ] Pressing <F2> will allow you to change serial port if computer has more than one serial port.

F4 Press this key to copy all parameters of one system to another. \71 SYSTEM ALPHA TAGS Enter the system alpha tags which are displayed on the LCD screen of the P3 version for two seconds whenever the current system is altered. \72 SYSTEM SCAN FLAGS For each programmed systems, choose between SCAN or SKIP for SYSTEM SCAN operation. The default setting is SKIP. \73 RADIO PHONE TAGS/NUMBERS Enter the alpha tags and their associated phone numbers here. Only 7 digits are allowed for phone numbers. This feature is available only for the P3 version radios. Press <ENTER> once to modify the alpha tag, and once again to modify the phone number. \80 FREQ BAND Displays the frequency band of the radio. \81 REF XTAL Do not alter this setting after the frequency band selection has automatically set the value unless you are performing special modifications to the radio. \82 FIRST IF Do not alter this setting after the frequency band selection has automatically set the value unless you are performing special modifications to the radio. Divide by numbers are not downloaded to the radio, but computed by the radio using this paramerter and channel information. If set improperly, the receiver will not function. \83 INJECT SIDE Do not alter this setting after the frequency band selection has automatically set the value unless you are performing special modifications to the radio. Change this setting to eliminate image problems in some service areas. Radio will have to be retuned after modification. This information is used in conjunction with FIRST IF, REF OSC FREQ and channel information to compute divide by numbers. \84 PRESCALAR Do not alter this setting after the frequency band selection has automatically set the value unless you are performing a special modification to the radio. \85 CHAN SPACING Minimum channel step size. \86 MIN VOLUME Allows the dealer to set a minimum volume level. This prevents the operator from turning the volume level completely down. \87 BEEP VOLUME Sets the volume of error tones, beeps, and DTMF tones. \88 CALIBRATION After transmitter output power has been calibrated, one can read the DAC conversion number for each power setting. These numbers are internal to the radio for setting appropriate power levels. There should be no need to modify these numbers in normal use. The default values are as follows: 0 Watts 0 2 Watts 20 5 Watts 40 10 Watts 80 15 Watts 110 \89 WRITE COUNT The radio keeps track of the number of times the radio was reprogrammed. As the EEPROM nears its life cycle (approximately 10,000 writes), the front panel will alert the operator to contact the Vertex dealer for service to prevent misoperation. \90 DWELL TIMER This parameter sets the amount of time the radio stays on a scanning group after activity ceases. \91 SCAN SPEED This parameter sets the period the radio stays on a group to check for activity in scan operations. If the radio tends to skip active channels, lengthening the period should resolve the problem. \92 PRIORITY TIMER If a priority group is selected in a conventional system, and the radio stops on a non-priority group during group scanning, the radio monitors the priority group every fixed interval. Adjust this parameter to determine the best interval for your application. \93 CONTINUE SCAN TIMER Set this parameter to a value greater than 0 to enable CONTINUE SCAN mode. In this mode, the radio stops on an active group for a fixed period and resumes scanning regardless of activity/inactivity. In other words, CONTINUE SCAN mode operates the same way as the scan feature of radio broadcast receivers. Adjust this parameter to set the amount of time the radio stays on an active group. \94 DCS SCAN TIMER This parameter, in conjunction with SCAN SPEED, sets the amount of time the radio stays on an active DCS- protected group during scanning. This parameter is needed to allow the radio to decode DCS of DCS- protected groups. The default setting is 375 ms. \95 CTCSS SCAN TIMER This parameter, in conjunction with SCAN SPEED, sets the amount of time the radio stays on an active CTCSS protected group during scanning. This parameter is needed to allow the radio to decode CTCSS of CTCSS protected groups. The default setting is 300 ms. \96 LTR SCAN TIMER This parameter, in conjunction with SCAN SPEED, sets the amount of time the radio stays on an active trunking group during scanning. This parameter is needed to allow the radio to decode LTR data of trunking groups. The default is 500 ms. \97 CANCEL SCAN ON CALL By enabling this parameter, the radio terminates scanning once an active group is detected. \99 OFF HOOK REVERT Whenever the microphone is removed from the hook, the radio reverts to one of the three groups: HOME, PRIORITY, and LAST BUSY. Set this parameter that best suits your application. \100 USER SCAN PROG By enabling this parameter, the user can use the SCAN EDIT feature from the radio's front panel. \101 USER PRIORITY By enabling this parameter, the user is capable of selecting the priority group of conventional systems from the radio's front panel. \110 USER DEFINED CTCSS By selecting this parameter, the programmer can create an original CTCSS tone for his application. Up to three tones can be created for use. The three tones are labeled USER1, USER2, and USER3 in the CTCSS table of the main screen. \111 AUTO SWITCH OFF By enabling this parameter, the radio will shut off after 8 hours of continuous use. \112 BUSY ALERT This parameter enables a beep to be heard when PTT is depressed during activity. \113 EXTERNAL PTT An external device can be attached to control the keying of PTT. Press <SPACE> to toggle between MIC & OPTION and OPTION ONLY. By selecting MIC & OPTION, the radio accepts PTT keying from both, the microphone and the optional equipment. By selecting OPTION ONLY, the radio will accept only the keying of PTT by the optional device. \114 TOT-NORMAL This parameter sets the time-out timer to limit transmit time per call. A warning beep sounds 10 seconds and 5 seconds before timeout occurs. This timer can be enabled/disabled on a per group basis from the main screen. \115 TOT-PHONE This parameter sets the time-out timer for phone interconnect transmit time. A warning beep sounds 10 seconds and 5 seconds before timeout occurs. This timer can be enabled/disabled on a per group basis from the main screen. \116 CALL LIMIT TIMER This parameter sets the call limit timer for entire phone interconnect operation (transmit time and receive time). A warning beep (double blips) sounds 10 seconds and 5 seconds before timeout occurs. \117 PENALTY TIMER Set this parameter to inhibit transmission after time- out timer expiration. If the PTT is keyed within the PENALTY TIMER expiration time, a beep sounds and the timer is reset. This timer can be enabled on a per group basis via the main screen. \118 RELEASE TIMER Set this parameter to inhibit transmission for a short interval after PTT has been released. If PTT is keyed within the RELEASE TIMER expiration time, a beep sounds and the timer is reset. This timer can be enabled only if the PENALTY TIMER has been enabled. \119 SWITCH-ON SYS/GRP Upon power-up, the radio is capable of tuning into either the last system/group prior to shut-down or a specific system/group. Select this item to choose the setting. \120 A-KEY FUNCTION Select between TALK AROUND and HORN-HONK for the A-Key function. Note that TALK AROUND can only be used for conventional systems, and HORN-HONK for trunking systems. \121 BUSY RING BACK Enable this parameter when you wish to have the radio notify that the group is clear for transmission; the BUSY RING BACK occurs only after a failed attempt to access the group has been made. \122 LTR OPTIONS Allow user to enable/disable FAILSOFT Mode, select RX data and TX data Polarities.

The following items can be accessed from this menu: 1. Channel scan enable or disable. 2. Priority key enable or disable. 3. Power on Priority enable disable (whether priority scan is in effect at radio power on). 4. Scan resume time; select either 5 Sec or CARRIER. If set to CARRIER, scan will resume 2 Sec after carrier drops. If set to 5 Sec, scan will pause only for that time, then resume regardless of activity. 2 5. PTT during scan; select either PAUSE or PAUSE & TX. If set to pause, you will have to press PTT twice in order to transmit when the radio has stopped on a busy channel. If set to PAUSE & TX, pressing PTT wil transmit on the first press (if the radio has already stopped on a busy channel. In either case, you will have to press PTT twice in order to transmit if the radio has not stopped scanning on a busy channel. If during active scan the PTT is pressed and a priority channel is tagged, the radio will revert to that channel and pause as above. If no priority channel is selected, the radio will pause on any random channel in the scan list. 6. TX Time Out; select either enabled or disabled. 7. TX Time Out Time; select either 30 Sec, 1 min, 2 min, or 3 min. 8. Time Out Resume is the amount of penalty time that must expire before the user can transmit again if they have exceeded the TOT. Select either 0, 6, 20, or 60 Sec. 9. TX Carrier Delay can be enabled or disabled; if enabled, the CTCSS option is installed, releasing the PTT button will cause the radio to continue to transmit for 400 mSec without tone to elimin- ate the squelch tail on the receiving end. 10. Power Save: determines how often the radio goes into the low power standby mode. Range is 300 mSec to 4.5 Sec in 300 mSec increments To select the duration of the "wake up" time, see the next section under ENVIRONMENT. 11. Key Beep can be enabled or disabled. 12. Reset/Mon Key can be programmed for momentary or toggle. If set for momentary, the radio will only be in monitor for as long as the button is held. Press <ESC> to return to the main channel menu.

Changing any of these 4 items requires hardware modifications to the radio and should not be altered from their default settings under normal conditions. Use the <SPACE> bar to toggle all of the ENVIRONMENT settings. 3 1. PLL IC type: select MC145156 (default) or MB87076. 2. Prescalar: select 1/64 (default) or 1/128. 3. Channel step; select 5, 6.25, 10 or 12.5 kHz. Default depends on radio type. 4. 1st IF Freq; Enter 00.00 to 99.99. Default depends on radio type. 5. Local Osc Offset; select either higher or lower. Default depends on radio type. If changed from default to eliminate image problems, radio will need retuning and possible modification. It is not recommended to alter this setting in the field. 6. Default split is applied to the receive frequency to automatically calculate the transmit frequency. This setting does not affect the operation of the radio. 7. Power Save time; select 30 or 300 mSec. This will determine how long the radio is "awake" during the power save mode to check for activity. 8. Scan Speed; select 50, 150, 200 or 250 mSec/channel. 9.
