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.

And Much, Much More. . .

• RF Squelch: Opens the squelch at a user-defined S-Meter level.

• Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS): Automatically sets the repeater shift within the designated repeater sub-bands.

• Ready for 1200/9600 bps Packet Operation:Connect to your TNC using the optional CT-39A Packet Cable.

• Automatic Power-Off (APO): Turns radio off after long periods of inactivity.

• Time-Out Timer: Prevents "Stuck Microphone" from causing lengthy QRM
to others.

• Battery Voltage Meter: Lets you know if your battery is getting low.

• DTMF AutoDial Memory: 16 Memories of up to 16 tones each.

• Lock Feature for Front Panel Keys & PTT Switch: Prevents accidental transmission or frequency change.
