65W FM Mobile Transceiver

Yaesu FT-3165R VHF FM Mobile Transceivers are powerful mobile transceivers designed for the 2-meter amateur band, offering up to 65W of power with additional selectable power settings of 30W or 5W. They feature an efficient cooling fan to maintain optimal performance. Essential features include CTCSS/DCS encode/decode, Automatic Power-Off (APO), Time-Out Timer (TOT), and Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS), making the FT-3165R a reliable choice for mobile 2-meter operation.

The FT-3165R transceiver offers enhanced audio quality with a new front speaker delivering 5W of loud audio, specifically tuned for improved sound quality. They include advanced features like the Super-DX function, which improves audio performance in noisy environments. Installation of the optional SPU-1 Audio Digital Signal Processing Unit (ASP) improves the audio quality of weak signals and expands the communication range (sold separately). Additionally, FT-3165R includes 10 NOAA Weather channels with Weather Alert, providing added functionality for users who rely on receiving current weather updates.

Optional (ASP) Audio Signal Processing Unit (SPU-1): When installed, the SPU-1 Digitally processes received audio to remove noise, enhancing voice clarity and making weak signals audible. (Sold separately)

Durable Front Speaker: Newly adopted 5W high-quality front speaker enhances audio clarity, even in noisy environments.

Large-Capacity Memory: 220 Memory channels with Alpha-numeric 8-character labels.

Optimized Final Power Amplifier Section: Includes a new highly efficient cooling fan, aides in achieving efficient TX output of 65W.

Expanded Receiver Coverage: 136-174MHz

Keypad Entry: Entry of operating frequencies from the supplied DTMF microphone.
