Introduction

New Features of the Yaesu FT-3185R/FT-3185E

The final power amplifier section has been optimized to achieve a transmit power

output of 85W. The transmit power can be selected from 85W, 50W, 20W, or 5W. The new Super DX function increases the sensitivity of the RF amplifier when the

received signal is weak, and expands the communication range. Installing the optional "Audio Signal Processing Unit SPU-1", permits digitally

processing the received audio signal to separate and remove noise. The voice can be

enhanced to produce clear, comfortable, audio quality. Even weak signals that were

previously inaudible due to noise can now be received clearly. The Primary Memory Group Activity Monitor (PMG) function can register up to 5 memory

channels or VFO receive frequencies simply by pressing and holding the

key.

Press the

key to scan the registered frequencies and when a signal comes in

on a channel other than the current channel, the transceiver will automatically receive

that signal. The Custom Function List (CFL) can be personalized by registering frequently used

functions (up to 9) from the 44 items of the Setup Menu. The functions may then be

called up with one touch of the

key or easily selected with the DIAL knob.

Other Features
Keyboard entry of operating frequencies from the microphone. Excellent protection from receiver intermodulation distortion, thanks to Yaesu's
renowned Advanced Track Tuning front end. 226 memories (200 "basic" memory channels, 10 sets of band-edge memory channels,
one "Home" channel, and 5 "PMG" memory channels) which can store repeater shifts, odd repeater shifts, CTCSS/DCS tones, and 6-character Alpha-Numeric labels for easy channel recognition. 10 NOAA Weather Broadcast Channels, with Weather Alert and a Volume Control for the Weather Alert tone. (USA version only) Built-in CTCSS and DCS Encoder/Decoder circuits. Extensive Menu system, which allows customization of a number of transceiver performance characteristics.
Additional features include a transmit Time-Out-Timer (TOT), Automatic Power-Off (APO), Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS), plus provision for reduction of the Tx deviation in areas of high channel congestion.
Thank you for purchasing the FT-3185R/E Transceiver. We urge you to read this manual in its entirety, to gain a full understanding of the amazing capability of the exciting new FT-3185R/E Transceiver.

About the Antenna
The antenna is an extremely important part for both transmitting and receiving. The antenna type and its inherent characteristics determine whether the performance of the transceiver can be fully realized. As such, please note the following:
· Use an antenna that is suitable for the operating frequency band. · Use an antenna and a coaxial cable with a characteristic feed point impedance of 50. · Adjust the VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) until it is 1.5 or less for an antenna
with an adjusted impedance of 50. · Keep the coaxial cable routing length as short as possible.
Connection of Antenna and Power Cables
Please follow the outline in the illustration regarding the proper connection of antenna coaxial cables and Power Supply.

Cautions · Do not use a DC power supply cable other than the one that is provided. · Do not use the DC power supply cable with the fuse holder cut off. · Use an external power source capable of supplying DC 13.8V, a current
capacity of 20A or more.

High RF voltage is present in the TX RF section of the transceiver while transmitting. Absolutely! Do not touch the TX RF section while transmitting. Permanent damage can result when improper supply voltage, or reverse polarity voltage, is applied to the FT-3185R/E. The Limited Warranty on this transceiver does not cover damage caused by application of AC voltage, reverse polarity DC, or DC voltage outside the specified range of 13.8V ±15%. When replacing fuses, be certain to use a fuse of the proper rating. The FT-3185R/E requires a 25 Amp (USA/Asian version) or 20 Amp (European version) blade fuse.

CH Frequency 06 162.500MHz 07 162.525MHz 08 161.650MHz 09 161.775MHz 10 163.275MHz

3. If you wish to check the other channels for activity by scanning, just press the Microphone's PTT switch.
4. To exit to normal operation, press the [P4] key again. Operation will return to the VFO or Memory channel you were operating on before you began Weather Broadcast operation.
The [P4] key, one of the programmable 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.
· 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 1050Hz tone and subsequent weather report on one of the NOAA weather channels. You may enable this feature via Menu Item "43 WX ALT", if desired. When scanning the band or the "regular" memories, with the Severe Weather Alert feature engaged, you will notice that the FT-3185R will break over to the Weather Channel bank every five seconds, performing a quick scan of those channels in search for the 1050Hz alert tone. If the alert tone is received, operation will lock on the weather broadcast station issuing the alert; otherwise, the transceiver will revert to the VFO or memory scan session in progress without interruption. When the alert tone is received, press the PTT switch momentarily to disable the alarm, and the Severe Weather message will now be audible from the speaker.

To change the configuration of this switch, use menu list "16 PRG P1", "17 PRG P2", "18 PRG P3" or "19 PRG P4".

CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Operation

CTCSS Operation
Many repeater systems require that a very-low-frequency audio tone be superimposed on your FM carrier in order to activate the repeater. This helps prevent false activation of the repeater by radar or spurious signals from other transmitters. This tone system, called "CTCSS" (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System), is included in your FT-3185R/E, and is very easy to activate.
CTCSS setup involves two actions: setting the Tone Mode and then setting of the Tone Frequency. These actions are set up by using the Setup Menu mode, selections "29 SQL.TYP" and "30 TON.FRQ".

1. Press and hold the

key, then rotate the DIAL knob

to select "29 SQL.TYP".

2. Press the DIAL knob, then rotate the DIAL knob so that "TONE" appears on the display; this activates the CTCSS Encoder, which allows repeater access.
3. Rotating the DIAL knob one more click clockwise in the above step will cause "TON. SQL" to appear. When "TON.SQL" appears, this means that the Tone Squelch system is active, which mutes your FT-3185R/E's receiver until it receives a call from another radio sending out a matching CTCSS tone. This can help keep your radio quiet until a specific call is received, which may be helpful while operating in congested areas.

You may notice a "RV TON" indication on the display while you rotate the DIAL knob in this step; this means that the Reverse Tone Squelch system is active, which mutes your FT-3185R/E's receiver (instead of opening the squelch) when it receives a call from the transceiver sending a matched CTCSS tone. The "T SQ" icon will blink on the display when the Reverse Tone Squelch system is activated.

4. When you have made your selection of the CTCSS tone mode, press the DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob one more clik clockwise to select Menu "30 TON.FRQ". This Menu selection allows setting of the CTCSS tone frequency to be used.
5. Press the DIAL knob momentarily to enable the adjustment of the CTCSS frequency. 6. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired Tone Frequency.

Rotate the DIAL knob until the desired CTCSS frequency is displayed. Press the DIAL knob again to save the new setting and return to the previous screen.

CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Operation
DCS Operation
Another form of tone access control is Digital Code Squelch, or DCS. It is a newer, more advanced tone system which generally provides more immunity from false paging than does CTCSS. The DCS Encoder/Decoder is built into your FT-3185R/E, and operation is very similar to that just described for CTCSS. Your repeater system may be configured for DCS; if not, it is frequently quite useful in Simplex operation if your friend(s) use transceivers equipped with this advanced feature.
Just as in CTCSS operation, DCS requires that you set the Tone Mode to DCS and that you select a Tone Code.

1. Press and hold the

key, then rotate the DIAL knob

to select "29 SQL.TYP".

2. Press the DIAL knob, then rotate the DIAL knob until "DCS" appears on the display; this activates the DCS Encoder/Decoder.
3. Now press the DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu "31 DCS.COD".

4. Press the DIAL knob momentarily to enable the adjustment of the DCS code. 5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired DCS Code (a three-digit number).
DCS CODE 023 025 026 031 032 036 043 047 051 053 054 065 071 072 073 074 114 115 116 122 125 131 132 134 143 145 152 155 156 162 165 172 174 205 212 223 225 226 243 244 245 246 251 252 255 261 263 265 266 271 274 306 311 315 325 331 332 343 346 351 356 364 365 371 411 412 413 423 431 432 445 446 452 454 455 462 464 465 466 503 506 516 523 526 532 546 565 606 612 624 627 631 632 654 662 664 703 712 723 731 732 734 743 754 -
6. Press and the DIAL knob to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
1) Remember that the DCS is an Encode/Decode system, so your receiver will remain muted until a matching DCS code is received on an incoming transmission. Switch the DCS off when you're just tuning around the band.
2) Press the DIAL knob momentarily as described in procedure "5". You can now set the transmit DCS code. "T" is displayed at the right of the DCS code indication. Rotate the DIAL knob until the desired DCS code is displayed. Press the DIAL knob again to save the new setting and return to the previous screen.

CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Operation

Tone Search Scanning
In operating situations where you don't know the CTCSS tone or DCS code being used by another station or stations, you can command the transceiver to listen to the incoming signal and scan in search of the tone being used. Two things must be remembered in this regard: You must be sure that your repeater uses the same tone type (CTCSS vs. DCS). Some repeaters do not pass the CTCSS tone or DCS code; you may have to listen
to the station(s) transmitting on the repeater uplink (input) frequency in order to allow Tone Search Scanning to work.

To scan for the tone in use:

1. Set the transceiver up for either CTCSS or DCS Decoder operation (see the previous

discussion). In the case of CTCSS, "T SQ" will appear on the display; in the case of

DCS, "DCS" will appear on the display.

2. Press and hold the

key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select "30 TON.FRQ" or

"31 DCS.COD".

3. Press the DIAL knob.

4. Press and hold the Microphone's [UP] or [DWN] key to start scanning for the incoming

CTCSS or DCS tone/code.

5. When the transceiver detects the correct tone or code, it will halt on that tone/code,

and audio will be allowed to pass.

6. Press the Microphone's [UP] / [DWN] key or PTT switch momentarily to lock in that

tone/code.

If the Tone Scan feature does not detect a tone or code, it will continue to scan indefinitely. When this happens, it may be that the other station is not sending any tone. You can press the Microphone's [UP] / [DWN] key or PTT switch to halt the scan at any time.

You may listen to the (muted) signals from the other stations during Tone Scanning when Set Mode Item "34 TS MUT" is set to "OFF". You can also change the Tone Search scanning speed, using Set Mode Item "35 TS SPD". Tone Scanning works either in the VFO or Memory mode.

CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Operation

EPCS (Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch) Operation

The FT-3185R/E includes an Enhanced CTCSS tone encoder/decoder and a dedicated microprocessor providing paging and selective calling features. This allows you to place a call to a specific station (Paging), and to receive calls of your choice directed only to you (Code Squelch). The paging and code squelch systems use two pairs of (alternately switched) CTCSS tones which are stored in the pager memories. Basically, your receiver remains silent until it receives the CTCSS tone pair that matches those stored in the Receiving Pager Memory. The squelch then opens so the caller is heard, and the paging ringer immediately sounds, if activated. When you close the PTT switch to transmit, the CTCSS tone pair which is stored in the Transmitting Pager Memory will be transmitted automatically. On the paged transceiver, the squelch will close automatically after the incoming page ends.

· Storing the CTCSS Tone Pairs for EPCS Operation

1. Press and hold the

key to enter the Set mode.

2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select "20 PAG.CDR" for the Receiving CTCSS Tone Pair or "21 PAG.CDT" for the Transmitting CTCSS Tone Pair.

Scanning

The FT-3185R/E's scanning capability provides the operator with many convenient methods of rapid frequency navigation.

VFO Scan / Memory Scan

To find frequencies where there are signals in VFO mode or Memory mode:

1. Press and hold the microphone [UP] or [DWN] key to start scanning.

Or press and hold the

key select "26 SCN.ON" press the DIAL knob.

If the DIAL knob is rotated while scanning is in progress, the scanning will continue

up or down in frequency according to the direction of the DIAL Knob rotation. Scanning pauses when a signal opens the squelch, and the decimal point on the dis-

play will blink. You can choose one of three scan-resume modes (described later). To halt the scan manually, the easiest way is to push the PTT switch on the micro-

phone momentarily (no transmission will occur while you are scanning). The scan may also be halted manually by pressing the microphone's [UP] or [DWN] key.

Scan-Resume Options
Three scan-resume modes are available on the FT-3185R/E:
In the "BUSY" mode, the scanner will remain halted for as long as there is carrier present on the channel; after the carrier drops at the end of the other station's transmission, scanning will resume.
In the "HOLD" mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. It will not restart automatically; you must manually re-initiate scanning if you wish to resume.
In the "3SEC / 5SEC / 10SEC" mode, the scanner will halt for the selected resume time, after which scanning will resume (whether or not the other station is still transmitting).

The default scan-stop mode is "BUSY". To change the scan-resume mode, use the following procedure:

1. Press and hold the

key, then rotate the DIAL knob

to select "27 SCN.RSM".

2. Press the DIAL knob, then rotate the DIAL knob to select

the desired scan-resume mode.

3. Press and hold the DIAL knob to save the new setting

and exit to normal operation.

Scanning

Memory Skip Scanning
When you have some continuously-active channels in memories, you may wish to skip them for scanning, but still have them available for manual selection.

To mask a memory to be skipped (only) during scanning, use the following procedure:

1. Set the transceiver to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the

key repeatedly,

as necessary, until " " and a channel number appear on the left side of the display.

2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.

3. Press and hold the knob to select "SCAN".

key, then rotate the DIAL

4. Press the DIAL knob, then rotate the DIAL knob so as to select "N". The current Memory Channel will now be ignored during scanning.
5. Press and hold the DIAL knob to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
A "SKIP" icon will appear when you recall the "skipped" memory channel manually.

To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select "Y" in step 4 above, after first recalling the currently-blocked channel (the "Skipped" channel is accessible via manual channel selection methods using the DIAL knob in the Memory mode, whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop).

Programmable Memory Channel Scan (PMS)

The FT-3185R/E can be set to tune or scan only the frequencies between user defined

lower and upper band limits.

· Registering to the Programmable Memory Channels

1. Store the lower edge of the desired scanning/tuning range in memory "L0", and the

upper edge in memory "U0" (or, alternatively, in memories "L1/U1" through "L9/U9").

2. With any of these memories recalled. The "

" icon

will appear.

3. Press and hold the microphone's [UP] or [DWN] key to activate the Programmable Band-Scan Limits. Tuning and scanning will now be limited within the just-programmed range.
To cancel the Band-Scan Limits and return to normal memory operation, press the key momentarily.

Scanning
Priority Channel Scanning (Dual Watch)
The FT-3185R/E's scanning features include a two-channel scanning capability which allows you to operate on a VFO, Memory channel, or Home channel, while periodically checking a user-defined Memory Channel for activity. If a station is received on the Memory Channel which is strong enough to open the Squelch, the scanner will pause on that station in accordance with the Scan-Resume mode set via Menu item "27 SCN.RSM" (see page 34).

· Activating the Dual Watch (DW) feature 1. Set the frequency to monitor continually.
The monitor frequency may be set on the VFO mode or the memory channel mode. 2. Assigning the "DW" function to a programmable key ([P1]/[P2]/[P3]/[P4]) on the
microphone.

How to assign DW function

1. Press and hold the

key.

2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the "16 PRG P1", "17 PRG P2", "18 PRG P3" or

"19 PRG P4" key to assign a function, then press the DIAL knob.

3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select "DW".

4. Press and hold the DIAL knob to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

3. Press the key to which "DW" function is assigned.
· The dual watch function is activated. · When a signal is received on the priority channel, it will continue to be received until
there is no signal.
· The decimal point will blink while receiving a signal. 4. Press the key assigned "DW" function to cancel the dual watch function.

· 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's PTT switch. Operation will instantly revert to the Priority Channel.
To enable Priority Revert operation:

key, then rotate the DIAL knob

to select "28 DW RVT".

2. Press the DIAL knob, then rotate the DIAL knob to set

this Menu item to "ON".

3. Press and hold the DIAL knob to save the new setting

and exit to normal operation.

To disable Priority Revert operation, select "OFF" in step 2 above.

Scanning

Weather Alert Scan (USA version only)
This feature allows you to check the Weather Broadcast Memory Channels for the presence of the NOAA Alert Tone while operating using VFO scan or Memory channel scan.
When the Weather Alert Scan feature is engaged, the FT-3185R will check the Weather Broadcast Memory Channels for activity every five seconds while scanning. If you watch the display carefully, you'll observe the scanner periodically shifting to the Weather Broadcast bank, scanning the Weather channels quickly in search of the Alert Tone, after which regular scanning will resume for another five seconds.

To enable the Weather Alert Scan feature:

1. Press and hold the

key, then rotate the DIAL knob

to select "43 WX ALT".

2. Press the DIAL knob, then rotate the DIAL knob to set

this Menu item to "ON".

3. Press and hold the DIAL knob to save the new setting

and exit to normal operation.

4. To disable the Weather Alert Scan feature, select "OFF"

in step 2 above.

You can change the Weather Alert Tone volume level to maximum regardless the VOL knob setting, using Menu item "44 WX VOL".

ARTSTM (Automatic Range Transponder System)
The ARTSTM feature uses DCS signaling to inform both parties when you and another ARTSTM-equipped station are within communications range. This may be particularly useful during Search-and Rescue situations, where is important to stay in contact with other members of your group.
Both stations must set up their DCS codes to the same code number, then activate their ARTSTM feature using the command appropriate for their transceiver. Alert ringers may be activated, if desired.
Whenever you press the PTT switch, or every 30 seconds after ARTSTM is activated, your transceiver will transmit a signal which includes a (subaudible) DCS signal for about 1 second. If the other transceiver is in range, the beeper will sound (if enabled) and the display will show "IN.RNG" as opposed to the out of range display "OUT.RNG" in which ARTSTM operation begins. Whether you talk or not, the polling every 30 seconds will continue until you de-activate ARTSTM. When ARTSTM is de-activated, DCS will also be deactivated (if you were not using it previously in non-ARTSTM operation). If you move out of range for more than 80 seconds, your transceiver will sense that no signal has been received, two beeps will sound, and the display will revert to "OUT.RNG". If you move back into range, your transceiver will again beep, and the display will change back to the "IN.RNG" indication. During ARTSTM operation, your operating frequency will continue to be displayed, but no changes may be made to it or other settings; you must terminate ARTSTM in order to resume normal operation. This is a safety feature designed to prevent accidental loss of contact due to channel change, etc.
Basic ARTSTM Setup and Operation
1. Assign the ARTSTM feature to the microphone's programmable key ([P1], [P2], [P3], or [P4]).
2. Set your transceiver and the other transceiver(s) to the same DCS code number. 3. Press the assigned microphone's programmable key
momentarily. You will observe the "OUT.RNG" display on the LCD. ARTSTM operation has now commenced. 4. Every 30 seconds, your transceiver will transmit a "polling" call to the other station. When that station responds with its own ARTSTM polling signal, the display will change to "IN.RNG" to confirm that the other station's polling code was received in response to yours. 5. Press the assigned microphone's programmable key momentarily to exit ARTSTM operation and resume normal functioning of the transceiver.

Miscellaneous Settings

Time-Out Timer (TOT)
The "Time-Out Timer" (TOT) feature is designed to force the transceiver into the "receive" mode after a preset time period of continuous transmission (the default is 3 minutes). This feature prevents your transceiver from transmitting a "dead carrier" for a long period of time in the event that the microphone PTT switch is accidentally locked in the "TX" condition.
The Time-Out Timer's "switch-to-receive" time may be adjusted to 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 minutes, or OFF.

To change the default (3 minutes) time setting:

1. Press and hold the

key, then rotate the DIAL knob

to select "38 TOT".

2. Press the DIAL knob, then rotate the DIAL knob to select

the desired interval (1 / 2 / 3 / 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 30 minutes),

or OFF.

3. Press and hold the DIAL knob to save the new setting

and exit to normal operation.

When your transmission time is within 10 seconds of the Time-Out Timer expiration, an Alert bell will provide an audible warning from the speaker.

Automatic Power-Off (APO)
The "Automatic Power-Off" (APO) feature will turn the transceiver completely OFF after a user-defined period of PTT or key inactivity. If you do not press any front panel keys, rotate the DIAL knob, use the microphone's keys, or transmit, and so long as the transceiver is not scanning or engaged in priority monitoring, the transceiver will shut itself off after the specified time period. The available selections for the time before power-off are 0.5 / 1 / 3 / 5 / 8 hours, as well as APO OFF. This feature is useful in minimizing battery drain in a mobile installation if you forget to turn the transceiver off when you leave your vehicle.

To activate the APO feature:

1. Press and hold the

key, then rotate the DIAL knob

to select "01 APO".

2. Press the DIAL knob, then rotate the DIAL knob to select

the desired "switch-off" time or OFF.

3. Press and hold the DIAL knob to save the new setting

and exit to normal operation.

If there is no action by you within the time interval programmed, an Alert bell will provide an audible warning from the speaker within 1 minute of the APO Timer expiration, then the microprocessor will shut down the transceiver automatically.

Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO)
The BCLO feature prevents the radio's transmitter from being activated if a signal strong enough to break through the "noise" squelch is present. On a frequency where stations using different CTCSS or DCS codes may be active, BCLO prevents you from disrupting their communications accidentally (because your radio may be muted by its own Tone Decoder). The default setting for the BCLO is OFF, and here is how to change that setting:

1. Press and hold the

key, then rotate the DIAL knob

to select "04 BCLO".

2. Press the DIAL knob, then rotate the DIAL knob to set

this Menu item to "ON".

Note: See Setup Menu Item "41 DC VLT" on page 45.
DCS Code Inversion
DCS uses a codeword consisting of a 23-bit frame, transmitted (subaudible) at a data rate of 134.4 bps (bit/sec).
Occasionally, signal inversion can result in the complement of a code to be sent or received. This prevents the receiver's squelch from opening with DCS enabled, as the decoded bit sequence would not match that selected for operation.
Typical situations that might cause inversion to occur are: Connection of an external receiver preamplifier. Operating through a repeater. Connection of an external linear amplifier.
Note that code inversion does not mean that any of the above listed equipment is defective!
In certain amplifier configurations, the output signal (phase) is inverted from the input.
Small signal or power amplifiers having an odd number (1, 3, 5, etc.) of amplification stages may result in inversion of a transmitted or received DCS code.
While under most circumstances this should not occur, if you find that your receiver squelch does not open when both you and the other station are using a common DCS code, you or the other station (but not both) can try the following:

1. Press and hold the

key, then rotate the DIAL knob

to select "32 DCS RV".

2. Press the DIAL knob, then rotate the DIAL knob to set

this Menu item to "ENABLE".

3. Press and hold the DIAL knob to save the new setting

and exit to normal operation.

4. To disable the BCLO feature, select "DISBLE(DISABLE)"

in step 2 above.

Reset Procedure
