Basic Operation Microphone Gain Setting The microphone gain has been programmed at the factory to a level that should be satisfactory for the supplied SSM-85D Microphone. If an after-market microphone is used, you may wish to set a different Mic Gain level. 1.
Advanced Operation Split Tone Operation The FT-3165R/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 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.
Note: The FT-3165R/E does not recognize the order of the 1st tone and the 2nd tone. In other words, for example, the FT-3165R/E considers both CTCSS pairs “05, 47”...
Advanced Operation Activating the Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch System 1. Press and hold in the key for one second to enter the Set mode. DIAL 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “28 SQL TYPE”. 3. Press the key, and then rotate the DIAL knob to select “PAGER”.
DTMF Operation DTMF tones (Dual Tone Multi Frequencies) are the tones you hear when dialing from a telephone keypad. The FT-3165R/E transceiver can transmit the DTMF codes by using the keys on the microphone or recalling registered number strings from memories.
Advanced Operation Registering a DTMF code 1. Press and hold in the key for one second to enter the Set mode. DIAL 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “9 DT EDIT”. 3. Press the key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired memory channel (C0 to C9) to register the DTMF code.
Advanced Operation Transmitting the registered DTMF code 1. Press and hold in the key for one second to enter the Set mode. DIAL 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “8 DT AUTO”. 3. Press the key momentarily, and then rotate the DIAL knob to select “AUTO”.
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 key for one second to enter the Set mode. DIAL 2.
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 key for one second.
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 FT-3165R/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.
Scanning Programmable Memory Scan (PMS) The FT-3165R/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 144.300MHz, and an upper frequency of 145.000MHz to the L1/U1 memory channels.
SSM-85D Microphone. Band Edge Beeper The FT-3165R/E will automatically “beep” when the receive band edge is encountered during scanning (either in standard VFO scanning or during PMS operation). Additionally, the band edge beep feature may be enabled to sound when the band edge frequency is reached while tuning the VFO, using the DIAL knob.
Scanning Priority Revert Mode During Priority channel operation (Dual Watch), a special feature is available which will allow you to move to the Priority Channel instantly, without waiting for activity to appear on the Priority Channel. When this feature is enabled, and priority monitoring is engaged, just press the microphone PTT switch.
Installing the Signal Processing Unit “SPU-1” Caution! Avoid touching the electronic components with your hands as the semiconductors may be damaged by static electricity. 1. Turn the transceiver OFF. Also turn OFF the external DC power supply. 2. Disconnect all the cables and the microphone from the transceiver. 3.
Clone The FT-3165R/E includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and configuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another FT-3165R/E. This can be particularly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service operation.
Setup (Menu) Mode The FT-3165R/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.
