Copy, paste, and insert hundreds of repeaters in seconds.

Beyond simple frequency entry, the FT-8800R possesses a deep menu system for "set mode" configurations. Navigating these menus on a small LCD screen can be unintuitive. ADMS-2I simplifies this by presenting all global settings—such as display brightness, APO (Automatic Power Off) timers, and packet settings—on a single screen. This "birds-eye view" allows users to customize the radio’s behavior to suit their specific operating style, whether they are using the rig for mobile emergency communications or as a permanent home base station. Data Redundancy and Portability

The ADMS-2I software is a dedicated programming utility designed specifically for the Yaesu FT-8800 and FT-8800R dual-band mobile transceivers. Created by RT Systems, this software serves as a bridge between your computer and your radio. It allows you to customize settings, manage frequencies, and configure advanced features through a visual, spreadsheet-like interface. Why Use Programming Software for the Yaesu FT-8800?

"Write" the new data back to the radio, and you are ready to go. Conclusion

The is the official PC programming software developed by Yaesu Musen (specifically through their RT Systems licensing arrangement) for the Yaesu FT-8800R mobile transceiver. While RT Systems produces a separate, popular aftermarket version (ADMS-2I is often confused with it), the genuine Yaesu-branded ADMS-2I software allows amateur radio operators to quickly program memories, set configurations, and manage channels via a Windows PC rather than using the radio’s front panel.

To get started with ADMS-2I, you will need the software disk or download, a compatible CT-29F interface cable, and a PC running a supported version of Windows. Once connected, the "Get Data from Radio" function allows you to back up your current settings before making any changes, providing a safety net for your configurations.

The software layout mimics a spreadsheet. Each row represents a memory channel, and columns represent specific attributes. You can quickly edit: Receive and transmit frequencies Channel names (Alphanumeric labels) CTCSS/DCS tones and codes Transmitter power output (High, Mid 1, Mid 2, Low) Memory skip options for scanning 2.
