144/430
MHz
FM DUAL BAND TRANSCEIVER FT-7100M
A New Dual-Band Engineering Milestone.
Introducing the Dual Band Mobile for the 21st Century's Active
Ham!
Huge Illuminated Display, Heavy-Duty Construction, and Ease of
Operation!
|
True
Dual Band Design* and Performance!
|
The
FT-7100M features true Dual Band operation, with simultaneous
reception on VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF, or VHF/UHF. And the extended
receiver coverage provides for monitoring of both public
safety and (AM) aircraft communications!



*Simultaneous
reception on two different Frequencies, in-band or Cross-Band.
Cross-band Repeater Function not available
Despite its very compact size, the FT-7100M's front
panel sports a large 2.3" x 0.9" (60 x 23mm) Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD), with plenty of space for
dual frequency displays. The illumination of the
display may be adjusted, if desired.
Separate Volume and
Squelch controls are provided for each band
(VHF/UHF).
When using an external
speaker, you may use the Set (Menu) mode
to route the Main and Sub band audio to
the internal and external speakers, per
the chart below.

 |
|

A handy Mute feature prevents "competition" between
the two receivers by automatically muting the subreceiver's
audio when a signal is received on the main receiver.
|
Convenient
Remote-Head Mounting Capability (Optional YSK-7100 required)
|
Having
trouble mounting your mobile radio in your compact car?
With the FT-7100M and its optional YSK-7100 Separation
Kit, mounting is a breeze even in the tightest locations.
The YSK-7100 includes a 19.7' (6 m) remote cable and
a mounting bracket
for the front panel, and the microphone jack is located
on the side of the front panel, eliminating the need
to run a separate cable.
|
High-Power,
Heavy-Duty Design
|
The
compact size of the FT-7100M is possible thanks to the
efficient heat sinking system. The frame of the FT-7100M
is an aluminum die-cast chassis, which contributes mechanical
ruggedness and a large metal surface which dissipates
heat. And the rear panel includes a thermostatically-controlled
cooling fan, which conducts warm air out of the transceiver's
cabinet during high-power operation.

|
|
New-Technology Power Amplifier Design
The FT-7100M utilizes an all-new, single-transistor
2SK3478 power MOS FET final amplifier for both 2 meters
and 70 cm, yielding an impressive 50 Watts of power
output on the 144 MHz band (35 Watts on 430 MHz). Four
power levels are provided, as shown in the chart below:

Unmatched
Ease of Operation!
|
For
quick access to operating features,
the eight keys on the front panel of the
FT-7100M are single-action buttons, without a confusing
second "function" capability. Combined with the four
command control keys on the microphone, this means you
have one-touch access to all the important features
of the transceiver. And for effortless frequency programming,
you have Direct Frequency Entry and Memory Recall from
the microphone's keypad!
User-Programmable Microphone Keys
Four programmable keys on the microphone allow you one-touch
access to your favorite command functions. The commands
available from the microphone replicate the corresponding
front panel key functions, and include Band Change,
VFO/Memory switching, Home Channel access, 1 MHz frequency
steps, Power Output selection, Repeater Reverse, and
CTCSS/DCS setup. Customize your microphone for your
personal operating style!
Default
settings for programmable keys:
P1: BAND Key (band selection; press and hold in for
1/2 second to enter Menu mode).
P2: V/M Key (VFO/Memory switching).
P3: TONE Key (repeater access tone setup).
P4: LOW Key (transmitter output power selection).

Superb
Memory and Scanning Capability!
|
Huge 262-channel Memory Capacity!
The
main memory of the FT-7100M includes 240 channels, 120
channels per band. What's more, you get five pairs of
Programmable Band Limits and a one-touch Home channel
on each band, yielding a grand total of 262 memory channels.
Each memory is capable of retaining frequency data,
plus CTCSS or DCS frequency and operating status, and
repeater shift is also memorized. A six-character Alpha-Numeric
label may be appended to each memory (upper display
field: 5 characters), for quick identification of memory
channels. You may freely tune off of a memorized frequency,
and you may also copy a memory's contents to the VFO,
if you like.
Versatile Scanning Selections
With the FT-7100M, you get VFO Scan, Memory Scan,
Programmable Memory Scan (PMS) within user-defined band
limits, and you may designate channels to be skipped
during Memory Scanning. What's more, you get Yaesu's
exclusive Smart Search automatic memory loading
system, which sweeps a portion of the band, automatically
loading active frequencies into a special 50-channel
Smart Search memory bank.
Three
Priority Channel Modes
For
keeping tabs on the action on important frequencies,
the FT-7100M includes three Priority Channel modes of
operation. These include:
VFO Priority: This mode lets you operate on the
VFO, while checking a designated memory channel every
five seconds.
Memory Priority: This mode provides operation
on a memory channel, while checking a designated memory
channel every five seconds.
Home Priority: Similar to Memory Priority, Home
Priority lets you operate on the Home channel, while
checking a designated memory channel every five seconds.

Updated
CTCSS and DCS
Operating Features!
|
The
FT-7100M provides the most up-to-date CTCSS and DCS
tone/code list available! Both CTCSS and DCS Encoder/Decoder
circuits are built-in.
50-Tone CTCSS/104-Code DCS (Digital Code Squelch)
Tone Systems Providing excellent performance even under
difficult link conditions, Yaesu's 50-tone sub-audible
CTCSS and 104-tone DCS signaling systems ensure that
you have full access to repeater and remote-base inputs,
and the built-in CTCSS/DCS decoders allow silent listening
on busy channels.
ARTS (Auto-Range Transponder System)
Included in the FT-7100M is Yaesu's exclusive ARTS
feature, which can be critically important in search-and-rescue
applications. ARTS provides a "hand-shake"
with other ARTS -equipped transceivers,
and the display indicates if an "Out of Range" conditions
exists. The base station (typically a mobile unit like
the FT-7100M) can then alert the field unit to move
to a better location. A 6-character CW ID memory also
is provided, for Morse Code identification of your station
every ten minutes during ARTS operation.
