Basic Operation Microphone Gain Setting The microphone gain has been programmed at the factory to a level that should be satisfactory for the supplied MH-48A6JA Microphone. If an after-market microphone is used, you may wish to set a different Mic Gain level. 1.
Advanced Operation Programming the Key Assignments Default FTM-3100R/E key functions have been assigned to the Microphone [ P1 ] / [ P2 ] / [ P3 ] / [ P4 ] keys at the factory. The user may change these key function assignments, if quick access to another function is desired.

Advanced Operation Split Tone Operation The FTM-3100R/E can be configured to operate in a “Split Tone” system via the Setup menu, to facilitate operation on repeaters using a mix of both CTCSS and DCS control. 1. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SETUP )] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
Advanced Operation 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. To scan for the tone in use: 1.
Advanced Operation DCS Search When the DCS code being transmitted by another station is not known, you can tune the radio to the incoming signal and activate DCS code scan to search for and identify the DCS code being used. To scan for the DCS in use: 1.
Advanced Operation EPCS (Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch) Operation The FTM-3100R/E includes an Enhanced CTCSS tone encoder/decoder and a dedicated microprocessor providing paging and selective calling features. This allows placing a call to a specific station (Paging), and choosing to receive calls directed only to you (Code Squelch).
Advanced Operation Activating the Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch System 1. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SETUP )] key for one second to enter the Set mode. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “SQL TYPE DIAL 34”.
Advanced Operation DTMF Operation DTMF tones (Dual Tone Multi Frequencies) are the tones you hear when dialing from a telephone keypad. The FTM-3100R/E 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.
Advanced Operation Registering a DTMF code 1. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SETUP )] key for one second to enter the Set mode. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “DT SET 12”. DIAL M H z V / M TXPO SETUP...
Advanced Operation Transmitting the registered DTMF code 1. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SETUP )] key for one second to enter the Set mode. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “DT AUTO DIAL 10”. M H z V / M TXPO SETUP...
Advanced Operation Setting DTMF Autodialer TX delay time A longer delay may be set between the time the transmitter is keyed and the first DTMF digit is sent: 1. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SETUP )] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
Memory Operation Split Memory A separate transmit frequency may be registered to a memory channel to which a receive frequency has already been registered. 1. In the VFO mode, select the transmit frequency to be registered. 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.
Memory Operation Naming a Memory Channel You may wish to append an alphanumeric “Tag” (label) to each memory, to aid in recollection of the channel’s use (such as club name, etc.). 1. Recall the memory channel on which you wish to append a label. 2.
Scanning Scan Resume Options Select one of the three receiving operations to be performed after the scanning stops. (1) Restart scanning after receiving the frequency for the set amount of time. Select from 2.0 to 10.0 seconds (0.5 step). (2) Continue receiving the frequency until the signal disappears, and then restart scan- ning 2 seconds after the signal disappears (BUSY).
Scanning Memory Skip Scanning When some memory channels are continuously active, you may wish to skip them during scanning, but still have them available for manual selection. To mask a memory to be skipped (only) during scanning, use the following procedure: 1.
Scanning Preferential Memory Scan The FTM-3100R/E also allows setting up a “Preferential Scan List” of channels, which you can “flag” within the memory system. The flagged channels are designated by an “ ” icon when they are selected, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List. When memory scanning is initiated beginning on a channel with the “...
Scanning Programmable Memory Scan (PMS) The FTM-3100R/E can be set to tune or scan only the frequencies between user-defined lower and band limits. Example: Set up a PMS channel by registering a lower frequency of 144.300 MHz, and an upper frequency of 148.000 MHz to the L1/U1 memory channels. Registering to the programmable memory channels 1.
Scanning Scanning the programmable memory channels 1. Press the [ V/M ( MW )] key to enter memory mode. 2. Turn the DIAL knob, or use the microphone keypad, to recall the upper or lower fre- quency PMS memory channel (L1 or U1). 3.
Scanning Priority Channel Scanning (Dual Watch) The FTM-3100R/E’s scanning features include a two-channel scanning capability which allows operating on a VFO, Memory channel, or Home channel, while periodically checking a user-defined Memory Channel for activity. If a station received on the Memory Channel is strong enough to open the Squelch, the scanner will pause on that station in accordance with the Scan-Resume mode setting of Menu item “SCAN RSM 31.”...
Clone The FTM-3100R/E includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and configuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another FTM-3100R/E. This can be particularly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service operation. Here is the procedure for cloning data from one radio to another: 1.
Setup (Menu) Mode The FTM-3100R/E Setup (Menu) mode, already described in parts of many previous chapters, is easy to activate and setup. The Menus may be used to configure many of transceiver parameters, some of which have not been detailed previously. Use the following procedure to activate the Setup (Menu) mode: 1.
