Repeater Operation

The FTM-3100R includes the ARS (Automatic Repeater Shift) function, which permits
communication through repeaters automatically, by simply setting the receiver to the re­peater frequency.

1. Tune to the repeater frequency.

2. Press the PTT to transmit.

During transmission, radio waves having an 100.0 Hz* tone signal are emitted on the

frequency offset from the receive frequency by 0.6 MHz*.

*: Depends on the transceiver version.

Note: From the Setup Menu, you can change the repeater setting.

RPT ARS 29 à Deactivates the ARS function.
RPT FREQ 30 à Allows changing the repeater shift frequency offset.
RPT SFT 31 à Allows setting the repeater shift direction.

Checking the Repeater Uplink (Input) Frequency

It is often helpful to be able to check the uplink (input) frequency of a repeater, to see if
the calling station is within direct (“Simplex”) range.

To do this, just press the [REV(DW)] key. You’ll
notice that the display has shifted to the repeat­er uplink frequency. Press the [REV(DW)] key
again to cause operation to revert to normal
monitoring of the repeater downlink (output)
frequency. While listening on the repeater input
frequency using the [REV(DW)] key, the repeat­er offset icon will blink.

Weather Broadcast Reception

The FTM-3100R includes a unique feature which allows reception of weather broadcasts
in the 160 MHz frequency range. Ten standard Weather Broadcast channels are preload­ed into a special memory bank.

To listen to a Weather Broadcast Channel:

1. Press the Microphone [P4] button to recall
the Weather Broadcast channels.

Note: The [P4] key, one of the programma-

ble keys, is assigned (default setting)
as the “WX Broadcast” one-touch
access key. Please note that if you
change/assign another function to the
[P4] key, one-touch access to the WX
channel will be unavailable.

2. Turn the DIAL knob to select the desired
Weather Broadcast channel.

3. To scan the other channels for activity,
press the Microphone PTT switch.

4. To exit to normal operation, press the [P4]
button again. Operation will return to the
VFO or Memory channel in operation before
you began Weather Broadcast operation.

Severe Weather Alert Feature

In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as storms and hurricanes, NOAA (the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) sends a weather alert accompanied
by a 1050 Hz tone and subsequent weather report on one of the NOAA weather chan­nels. You may enable this feature via Setup Menu Item “43 WX ALERT” see page 31
for details.

CTCSS Operation

This radio is equipped with the CTCSS (Continuous Tone-coded Squelch System) that
allows audio to be heard only when receiving signals containing a tone corresponding to
the tone squelch menu setting. By matching the CTCSS tone with the partner station in
advance, quiet standby monitoring is possible.

1. Press and hold the [MHz(SETUP)] key for over one second.

The Setup menu appears.

2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “SQL TYPE 35”, then press the [MHz(SETUP)] key.

3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “TSQL”, then
press and hold the [MHz(SETUP)] key for
over one second.

“ ” is displayed on the screen. Now the squelch opens only when receiving tone

signals of the set frequency.

Note: From the Setup Menu, you can change the CTCSS setting.

TONE FRQ 38 à The tone frequency can be selected from 50 frequencies.
BELL 6 à A bell tone (beep) may be set to sound when signals containing

a corresponding CTCSS tone are received.

Tone Search

When the CTCSS tone being transmitted by another station is not known, you can tune
the radio to the incoming signal and activate tone scan to search for and identify the tone
being used.

Note: For details, refer to the Advanced Manual (download from the Yaesu website).

DCS Operation

This radio is equipped with a DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) function that allows audio to
be heard only when signals containing the corresponding DCS code are received. By
matching the DCS code with the partner stations beforehand, a quiet receive standby is
possible.

1. Press and hold the [MHz(SETUP)] key for over one second.

The Setup menu appears.

2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “SQL TYPE 35”, then press the [MHz(SETUP)] key.

3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “DCS”, then
press and hold the [MHz(SETUP)] key for
over one second.

The following features are also available:

EPCS (Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch) Operation

Use the pager code consisting of two CTCSS tones to exchange communications with
specified stations.

Note: For details, refer to the Advanced Manual (download from the Yaesu website).

Split Tone Operation

The FTM-3100R can be operated in a “Split Tone” configuration that enables operation on
repeaters using a mix of both CTCSS and DCS control via the Setup menu.

Note: For details, refer to the Advanced Manual (download from the Yaesu website).

DTMF Operation

DTMF tones (Dual Tone Multi Frequencies) are the tones you hear when dialing from a
telephone keypad. The FTM-3100R transceiver can transmit the DTMF codes by using
the keys on the microphone or recalling registered number strings from memories.
The maximum of 16-digit DTMF codes can be registered in up to 10 memory channels.
It is convenient to register telephone patch numbers, and network linking sequences to
the DTMF memory channels.

Note: For details, refer to the Advanced Manual (download from the Yaesu website).

Memory Operation

ApplicationforFCC/IC

FCCID:K6620523X51/IC:511B-20523X51

The FTM-3100R provides a wide variety of memory system resources. These include:

r 199 “basic” memory channels, numbered “1” through “199”.
r A “Home” channel, providing storage and quick recall of one prime frequency.
r 10 sets of band-edge memories, also known as “Programmable Memory Scan” chan-

nels, labeled “L0/U0” through “L9/U9”.

Each memory may be appended with an alphanumeric label of up to 8 characters, for
quick channel recognition.

Memory Storage

1. In the VFO mode, select the desired frequency, repeater shift, CTCSS/DCS tone, and
TX power level.

2. Press and hold the [V/M(MW)] key for one
second.

A memory number will appear in the bottom

right corner of the display.

Note: If the channel number is blinking,

there currently is no data stored on
that channel; if the channel number is
not blinking, that channel is currently
“occupied” by other frequency data.

3. Within five seconds of pressing the [V/M(MW)] key, use the DIAL knob to select the
desired memory into which you wish to store the frequency.

Note: While operating in the Memory Storage mode, the keypad of the MH-48A6JA

Microphone may be used to enter the memory channel number directly.

To do this, enter the desired Channel Number on the keypad and then press the

[#]

key. Refer to the “For example” of the “Memory Recall from the Microphone

Keypad“ on next page.

4. Press the [V/M(MW)] key again, this time momentarily, to store the displayed data into
the selected memory channel slot.

5. To store additional frequencies, repeat steps 1 through 4, remembering to set the re­peater shift, CTCSS/DCS tone, and TX power level, as appropriate.

Split Memory

A separate transmit frequency may be registered to a memory channel to which a receive
frequency has already been registered.

Note: For details, refer to the Advanced Manual (download from the Yaesu website).

Naming a Memory Channel

You may also append an alphanumeric “Tag” (label) to each memory, to aid in recollection
of the channel’s use (such as club name, etc.).

Note: For details, refer to the Advanced Manual (download from the Yaesu website).
