Yaesu FT3DR How To Manually Input FM Repeaters 

Your very welcome and I am glad you were able to locate an FT3DR! It is still my primary EDC HT 73!

Thank You for watching and your comment!!

Thank You 🙏 73

I think you are going to need at least one extra battery and a second desk top "CD-41" rapid charger cradle with it's own AC wall adapter.

Mars! It is necessary to remove the jumper 000 under the cork

Does it show error after you manually programmed it?

@@PrecisionGroupYT Yes

@@enrique861 this is unfortunate to hear my only suggestion without physicaly being able to look at it myself would be to go through and double check all the settings for the repeater to make sure the offset (+,-) (0.600Khz, 5.00Mhz) and the repeater tone is correct! I wish I could be more helpful but this is difficult without seeing it in person! 73 and good luck!

Thank You!

Perhaps I miss understand your question I did not mention or compare the Nagoya Antenna to a Diamond Equivalent antenna my comment in the video was that this Nagoya antenna has far better performance than the stock antenna that comes with the Yaesu FT3DR.....apologies for any confusion! 73’s

@@PrecisionGroupYT no worries. Do you think the Nagoya is better than a diamond antenna?

Honestly I could not say as I do not have one to compare it to..... I do really like other Diamond antennas that I have but as far as the Nagoya goes for this radio I have seen a few other RU-vidrs who are also using this Nagoya Antenna for the FT3DR .... but of course that in itself does not mean it would be better than a Diamond Equivalent

Swr is very bad

This radio does have two independent receivers in it but you can not transmit and receive simultaneously as when you are transmitting the reception on the other VFO cuts out! Hope this answers your question 73

PrecisionGroupYT thanks for the reply! I guess Im hoping to get my local tactical frequencies programmed in. For example one is Rx 171.4750 with a tone of 123.0 and a Tx 164.8000 with a tone of 136.5. So would that maybe be a half duplex?

When you first turn the radio on it does ask you to input your call sign! It may operate with out one (for receiving) but I have not tried it! I would highly suggest getting your license first and then reward yourself for having past the test with the purchase of this great little radio! Of course if you purchase prior to having your license it’s almost like buying a Ferrari High end sports car and not having a drivers license and or being able to drive it……which would be a bit crazy! But you may be able to use this radio for just receiving ( No Transmitting ) but you’ll have much more fun when you can not only receive but transmit IMHO!!!! Best of Luck!!

Don't do anything! Dial 000000 and that's it.

I picked one up a couple of weeks ago. It's pretty sweet. You won't be disappointed.

Congratulations!! Have Fun 73

Thank you!! 73
