Yaesu FM 85W VHF FT-3185E ASP
85W 144MHz FM Mobile Transceiver with the new evolving Super-DX and digital audio signal processor
The FT-3185RASP provides reliable and high-performance 85W transmit power. The massive heatsink without a cooling fan ensures reliable and solid 85W RF power (selectable 85W / 50W / 20W / 5W).
The Super-DX function increases receiver sensitivity and improves reception of weak signals. The new ASP: Audio Digital Signal Processing Unit is also activated when the Super-DX key is pressed. Super-DX with ASP ensures reliable audio quality for weak signals and expands the communication range.
The remarkable and convenient features of the new FT-3185RASP are:
- PMG (Primary Memory Group)
Up to 5 VFO frequencies or Memory Channels can be assigned to the PMG (Primary Memory Group).
The reception status of PMG channels is displayed in real-time with a bar graph on the PMG screen.
AUTO or MANUAL mode is switchable by holding down the Main VFO knob during PMG operation. AUTO mode displays the received channel. Transmission is automatically shifted to the received channel.
In MANUAL mode, transmission and reception remain on the manually selected channel. When there is no signal on the manually selected channel, the bar graph will display the activity of the other PMG channels.
- CFL (Customized Function List):
You can register up to 9 frequently used functions from the 44 menus and easily recall them.
Other useful features of the FT-3185RASP are: large capacity of 221 memory channels with 6-character alphanumeric tags, keyboard entry of operating frequencies from the supplied DTMF microphone, versatile scanning functions such as preferential memory scanning, VFO scanning, priority channel scanning (Dual Watch), CTCSS/DCS encode/decode, separate transmit offset frequency memories, RF squelch, EPCS (Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch) operation, display illumination adjustment, automatic power-off (APO), timeout timer (TOT), busy channel lockout (BCLO), and 10 NOAA weather broadcast channels with weather alert (USA version only).
