Tone Search
When the CTCSS tone being transmitted by another station is not known, you can tune
the radio to the incoming signal and activate tone scan to search for and identify the tone
being used.
To scan for the tone in use:
1. Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decod-
er operation (see the description in the box
shown below.).
“T SQ” will appear on the display.
2. Press the Programmable key on the MH-48A6JA Microphone that is assigned “CD
SRCH” (see page 4) to start scanning for the incoming CTCSS code.

EPCS (Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch) Operation
The FTM-3100R/E includes an Enhanced CTCSS tone encoder/decoder and a dedicated
microprocessor providing paging and selective calling features. This allows placing a call
to a specific station (Paging), and choosing to receive calls directed only to you (Code
Squelch).
The paging and code squelch systems use two pairs of (alternately switched) CTCSS
tones, which are stored in the pager memories. Basically, your receiver remains silent until
it receives the CTCSS tone pair that matches those stored in the Receiving Pager Memory.
The squelch then opens so the caller is heard, and the paging ringer immediately sounds,
if activated. When you close the PTT switch to transmit, the CTCSS tone pair that is
stored in the Transmitting Pager Memory will be transmitted automatically.
On the paged radio, the squelch will close automatically after the incoming page ends.
Storing CTCSS Tone Pairs for EPCS Operation
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SETUP)] key for
one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “PAG CD-R
21” for the Receiving CTCSS Tone Pair or
“PAG CD-T 22” for the Transmitting CTCSS
Tone Pair.

number, which corresponds to the second

6. Press and hold in the [MHz(SETUP)] key for one second to lock in that tone and exit to
normal operation.
Note: The FTM-3100R/E does not recognize the order of the 1st tone and the 2nd tone.
In other words, for example, the FTM-3100R/E considers both CTCSS pairs “05,
47” and “47, 05” to be identical.

DTMF Operation
DTMF tones (Dual Tone Multi Frequencies) are the tones you hear when dialing from a
telephone keypad. The FTM-3100R/E transceiver can transmit the DTMF codes by using
the keys on the microphone or recalling registered number strings from memories.
The maximum of 16-digit DTMF codes can be registered in up to 10 memory channels.
It is convenient to register telephone patch numbers, and network linking sequences to
the DTMF memory channels.
Note: The two combined frequencies of the DTMF tone transmitted for each key are
indicated in the following table:
1209 Hz 1336 Hz 1477 Hz 1633 Hz
697 Hz 1 2 3 A

program the separate transmit frequency into memory.
Whenever a memory which contains inde-
pendently stored transmit and receive frequen-
cies is recalled, the “

in the display.
Moving Memory Data to the VFO
The data stored on a memory channel can easily be moved to the VFO.
1. Select the memory channel containing the frequency data to be moved to the VFO.
2. Press and hold in the [V/M(MW)] key for one
second, and then press the [MHz(SETUP)]
key. The “VFO WRT?” will appear on the dis-
play.
3. Press the [MHz(SETUP)] key, the data will now have been copied to the VFO, although
the original memory contents will remain intact on the previously-stored channel.
Note: If a split Frequency Memory channel was transferred, the TX frequency will be
ignored (The transceiver will be set up for Simplex operation on the Receive
frequency.)
Memory Only Mode
When memory channel programming has been completed, you may place the radio in
a “Memory Only” mode, whereby VFO operation is impossible. This may be particularly
useful during public-service events where a number of operators may be using the radio
for first time, and ultimate simplicity of channel selection is desired.
To place the radio into the Memory Only mode, turn the transceiver OFF. Now press and
hold in the [V/M(MW)] key while turning the transceiver ON. The VFO and Home Channel
will now be disabled.
To return to normal operation, repeat the above power-on procedure.
