Introduction
Features of this radio
144 MHz mobile radio, equipped with a C4FM digital communication modem
65 Watts of power output, with selection of three power levels for every operating situ-
ation
Clear audio and data communication is achieved using the digital modem functions
Expanded receiver coverage: 136-174 MHz
Keyboard entry of operating frequencies from the microphone
220 memories (199 “basic” memory channels, 10 sets of band-edge memory chan-
nels, and one “Home” channel) which can store repeater shifts, odd repeater shifts,
CTCSS/DCS tones, and 8-character Alpha-Numeric labels for easy channel recogni-
tion
10 NOAA Weather Broadcast Channels, with Weather Alert and a Volume Control for
the Weather Alert tone
Built-in CTCSS and DCS Encoder/Decoder circuits
Extensive Menu system, which allows customization of a number of transceiver perfor-
mance characteristics
Equipped with the GM (Group Monitor) function.
Additional features include a transmit Time-Out-Timer (TOT), Automatic Power-Off (APO),
and Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS). Also included is an RF Squelch circuit that allows
the owner to set the squelch to open at a programmed setting of the S-Meter, thus reduc-
ing guesswork in setting the squelch threshold.
Congratulations on your purchase of the FTM-3200DR! Whether this is your first rig, or if
Yaesu equipment is already the backbone of your station, the Yaesu organization is com-
mitted to ensuring your enjoyment of this high-performance transceiver. It should provide

Installation
FTM-3200DR Operating Manual
Mobile Installation
The FTM-3200DR must only be installed in vehicles having a 13.8 Volt negative ground
electrical system. Mount the transceiver where the display, controls, and microphone are
easily accessible, using the supplied mounting bracket.
The transceiver may be installed in almost any location, but should not be positioned
near a heating vent nor anywhere where it might interfere with driving (either visually or
mechanically).
Make sure to provide plenty of space on all sides of the transceiver so that air can flow
freely around the radio’s case. Refer to the diagrams showing proper installation proce-
dures.

Installation
FTM-3200DR Operating Manual
Power connection
To minimize voltage drop and avoid blowing the vehicle’s fuses, connect the supplied
DC power cable directly to the battery terminals. Do not attempt to defeat or bypass the
DC cable fuse - it is there to protect you, your transceiver, and your vehicle’s electrical
system.
Warning!
Never apply AC power to the power cable of the FTM-3200DR, nor DC voltage
greater than 15.8 Volts. When replacing the fuse, only use a 25-A fuse. Failure
to observe these safety precautions will void the Limited Warranty on this
product.
Before connecting the transceiver, check the voltage at the battery terminals while rev-
ving the engine. If the voltage exceeds 15 Volts, adjust the vehicle’s voltage regulator
before proceeding with installation.
Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal, and the
BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE (–) terminal. If you need to extend the
power cable, use #12 AWG or larger insulated, stranded copper wire. Solder the splice
connections carefully, and wrap the connections thoroughly with insulating electrical
tape.
Before connecting the cable to the transceiver, verify the voltage and polarity at the
voltage at the transceiver end of the DC cable, using a DC voltmeter. Now connect the
transceiver to the DC cable.

Warning!
• Do not use a DC power supply cable other than the one that is supplied or
specified.
• Do not place anything on the DC power supply cable or step on it.
• Do not use the DC power supply cable with the fuse holder cut off.
• Do not reverse the polarity (positive and negative) when connecting the
battery.

FTM-3200DR Operating Manual
Base Station Installation
The FTM-3200DR is ideal for base station use as well as in mobile installations. The
FTM-3200DR is specifically designed to integrate into your station easily, using the fol-
lowing information as a reference.
AC Power Supplies
Operation of the FTM-3200DR from an AC line requires a power source capable of pro-
viding at least 20 Amps continuously at 13.8 Volts DC. The FP-1023 (USA market only)
and FP-1030A AC Power Supplies are available from your Yaesu dealer to satisfy these
requirements. Other well-regulated power supplies may be used as well, if they meet the
above voltage and current specifications.
Use the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver to make the power connection to
the power supply. Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+) power supply
terminal, and connect the BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE (–) power supply
terminal.
