 Introduction
Features of this radio
 144 MHz mobile radio equipped with standard C4FM digital communication modem
 65 Watts of power output, with selection of three power levels for every operating situ-
  ation
 Clear audio and data communication is achieved using the digital modem functions
 Expanded receiver coverage: 136-174 MHz
 Keyboard entry of operating frequencies from the microphone
 220 memories (199 “basic” memory channels, 10 sets of band-edge memory chan-
  nels, and one “Home” channel) which can store repeater shifts, odd repeater shifts,
  CTCSS/ DCS tones, and 8-character Alpha-Numeric labels for easy channel recogni-
  tion
 10 NOAA Weather Broadcast Channels, with Weather Alert and a Volume Control for
  the Weather Alert tone
 Built-in CTCSS and DCS Encoder/Decoder circuits
 Extensive Menu system, which allows customization of a number of transceiver perfor-
  mance characteristics
 GM (Group Monitor) function where in a group of frequently communicating members

 Installation
Connecting the Microphone
Connect the supplied MH-48A6JA microphone to the body.
Plug the microphone connector into the MIC jack on the front panel until it clicks.
Note: When disconnecting the microphone, pull the cable while pressing the connector
      latch.




Connecting the Antenna
Connect the coaxial cable to the body.
Plug the coaxial cable jack into the ANT terminal on the rear panel of the body, then rotate
and tighten it.

Mobile Installation
The FTM-3200DR must only be installed in vehicles having a 13.8 Volt negative ground
electrical system. Mount the transceiver where the display, controls, and microphone are
easily accessible, using the supplied mounting bracket.
The transceiver may be installed in almost any location, but should not be positioned
near a heating vent nor anywhere where it might interfere with driving (either visually or
mechanically).
Make sure to provide plenty of space on all sides of the transceiver so that air can
flow freely around the radio’s case. Refer to the diagrams showing proper installation
procedures.

 Installation
Power connection
To minimize voltage drop and avoid blowing the vehicle’s fuses, connect the supplied
DC power cable directly to the battery terminals. Do not attempt to defeat or bypass the
DC cable’s fuse - it is there to protect you, your transceiver, and your vehicle’s electrical
system.

                                         Warning!
    Never apply AC power to the power cable of the FTM-3200DR, nor DC voltage
    greater than 15.8 Volts. When replacing the fuse, only use a 25-A fuse. Failure to
    observe these safety precautions will void the Limited Warranty on this product.

Before connecting the transceiver, check the voltage at the battery terminals while revving
the engine. If the voltage exceeds 15 Volts, adjust the vehicle’s voltage regulator before
proceeding with installation.
Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal, and the BLACK
power cable lead to the NEGATIVE (–) terminal. If you need to extend the power cable,use
#12 AWG or larger insulated, stranded copper wire. Solder the splice connections
carefully, and wrap the connections thoroughly with insulating electrical tape.
Before connecting the cable to the transceiver, verify the voltage and polarity of the
voltage at the transceiver end of the DC cable using a DC voltmeter. Now connect the
transceiver to the DC cable.

Base Station Installation
The FTM-3200DR is ideal for base station use as well as in mobile installations. The FTM-
3200DR is specifically designed to integrate into your station easily, using the information
to follow as a reference.
AC Power Supplies
Operation of the FTM-3200DR from an AC line requires a power source capable of
providing at least 20 Amps continuously at 13.8 Volts DC. The FP-1023 (USA market
only) and FP-1030A AC Power Supplies are available from your Yaesu dealer to satisfy
these requirements. Other well regulated power supplies may be used, as well, if they
meet the above voltage and current specifications.
Use the DC power cable supplied with your transceiver for making power connections to
the power supply. Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+) power supply
terminal, and connect the BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE (–) power supply
terminal.

 Basic Operation
Selecting the communication mode
The FTM-3200DR transceiver is equipped with the AMS (Automatic Mode Select) function
which automatically selects from 4 modes of transmission corresponding to the signal
being received.
The transmit mode is selected according to the received signal so that C4FM digital
signals, and analog signals are received and transmitted automatically.
Press [D/A(GM)] key to display “     ” (blinks) icon on the screen.

To operate in fixed communication mode, press [D/A(GM)] key to switch the communication
mode.
Each time [D/A(GM)] key is pressed, the communication mode changes in the following

Repeater Operation
The FTM-3200DR 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 lower than reception frequency by 5 MHz*.
   *: Depends on the transceiver version.
   Note: From the Setup Menu, you can change the repeater setting.
         RPT ARS 36 à Deactivates the ARS function.
         RPT FREQ 37 à Allows changing the repeater shift frequency offset.
         RPT SFT 38 à Allows setting the repeater shift direction.
Checking the Repeater Uplink (Input) Frequency
It often is 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            Blinks
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 you are listening on the input
frequency to the repeater using the [REV(DW)]
key, the repeater offset icon will blink.
