The FTM-3100E VHF FM transceiver is designed especially for the demanding operation in the car. The two-way radio is a monoband FM radio for 2m (VHF, 144-146 MHz). The mobile transceiver offers solid 65 W transmit power for reliable communication even over large distances. The chassis follows a special design to act as a huge heatsink. The speaker on the front panel is very helpful for good articulation of received audio, even in noisy environments. The large backlit LC display and a multi coloured LED show the easily readable current state of the radio. Like any full featured ham radio transceiver the FTM-3100E also offers features like 220 memories with alphanumeric names. A special "Memory Only Mode" helps to facilitate the operation of this transceiver. Squelch functions like DSQ, DCS and CTCSS are available fior targeted accessability of groups or individuals.
