Advanced Operation Programming the Key Assignments Default FT-3165R/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. Note: The default setting: [P1] - SQL OFF...
When the CTCSS tone being transmitted by another station is not known, you can tune the transceiver 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).
Advanced Operation DCS Operation FT-3165R/E 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.
Advanced Operation Weather Broadcast Reception The FT-3165R/E includes a unique feature which allows reception of weather broadcasts in the 160MHz frequency range. Ten standard Weather Broadcast channels are preload- ed into a special memory bank. To listen to a Weather Broadcast Channel (Example: When “WX” is assigned to [ P4 ] ): 1.
Note: For details, refer to the Advanced Manual (download from the Yaesu website). Split Tone Operation The FT-3165R/E 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.
Memory Operation The FT-3165R/E 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”...

Scan Resume Options Select which of the three resume scan modes is to be performed after the scanning stops. Note: For details, refer to the Advanced Manual (download from the Yaesu website). Memory Skip Scanning Memory channels which you do not want to receive can be skipped during scanning.
Note: See Setup Menu Item “39 TEMP” on page 31. Band Edge Beeper The FT-3165R/E will automatically “beep” when the receiver’s band edge is encountered during scanning (either in standard VFO scanning or during PMS operation). You may additionally enable this feature (band edge beeper) when the frequency reaches the band edge while selecting the VFO frequency manually, using the DIAL knob.
(press any other key to cancel the Reset procedure). 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.
