To the to-the-point video! I'm a fairly new Technician and have been using the Yaesu FT-70D and always wanted the FT3DR but they stopped making them. After searching patiently I happened on a 3DR NIB! Thank you again for this video!
Liked watching this as I've been considering taking the plunge on one of these HT's. I have a Yeasu 400XDR in my car and wanted to see how different they were. Clearly, having used the other makes this one pretty intuitive. Thanks.
Thanks for the helpful video. I just recently acquired the FT3D and am learning how to program it with the help of your videos. I do have a question though. There is a local repeater that shows both an uplink AND downlink tone of 131.8. I figured out how to do the uplink tone, but what about programming in a downlink tone? This kind of thing is not something I've seen before in a repeater, so I'm sort of confused. Thanks.
I am thinking of getting the FT3DE can i use it without putting a callsign in as i don't have one. I am going for my licence. I know i cant talk on it that's ok. i just wanna listen and learn some stuff before going for my radio licence.
When you first turn the radio on it does ask you to input your call sign! It may operate with out one (for receiving) but I have not tried it! I would highly suggest getting your license first and then reward yourself for having past the test with the purchase of this great little radio! Of course if you purchase prior to having your license it’s almost like buying a Ferrari High end sports car and not having a drivers license and or being able to drive it……which would be a bit crazy! But you may be able to use this radio for just receiving ( No Transmitting ) but you’ll have much more fun when you can not only receive but transmit IMHO!!!! Best of Luck!!
@@enrique861 this is unfortunate to hear my only suggestion without physicaly being able to look at it myself would be to go through and double check all the settings for the repeater to make sure the offset (+,-) (0.600Khz, 5.00Mhz) and the repeater tone is correct! I wish I could be more helpful but this is difficult without seeing it in person! 73 and good luck!
Perhaps I miss understand your question I did not mention or compare the Nagoya Antenna to a Diamond Equivalent antenna my comment in the video was that this Nagoya antenna has far better performance than the stock antenna that comes with the Yaesu FT3DR.....apologies for any confusion! 73’s
Honestly I could not say as I do not have one to compare it to..... I do really like other Diamond antennas that I have but as far as the Nagoya goes for this radio I have seen a few other TH-camrs who are also using this Nagoya Antenna for the FT3DR .... but of course that in itself does not mean it would be better than a Diamond Equivalent
This radio does have two independent receivers in it but you can not transmit and receive simultaneously as when you are transmitting the reception on the other VFO cuts out! Hope this answers your question 73
PrecisionGroupYT thanks for the reply! I guess Im hoping to get my local tactical frequencies programmed in. For example one is Rx 171.4750 with a tone of 123.0 and a Tx 164.8000 with a tone of 136.5. So would that maybe be a half duplex?

Thank you again for this video!
Your very welcome and I am glad you were able to locate an FT3DR! It is still my primary EDC HT 73!
This was a helpful video. I needed to change the Repeat Shift to Simplex for 446.000. This helped me with the steps to get to that menu item.
The best programming video by far for my new radio. Thank you for making it!!!
Love this radio. First C4FM contact a success today!
Congratulations!! Have Fun 73

I have this likable radio and Thanks for this guide. Very helpful
Just got this radio. Very helpful! Thank you!
Nice video. I learned a few things about my FT3DR
Thank you for the tutorial. Learning alot on the 3DR. Keep up the great work. 73, KM6LEZ
Thank You 🙏 73

Good video and I am planning on getting this one ‼️
I picked one up a couple of weeks ago. It's pretty sweet. You won't be disappointed.
Poinciana, I am over in that area pretty frequently working. Living in the Tampa area now though.
Thanks for the great videos!
Thanks. Just got this radio a month ago and this really helped. Subscribed for future FT3D content. :) KF0BSQ
QUESTION: Is inputting for a Fusion repeater a different story?
I am thinking of getting the FT3DE can i use it without putting a callsign in as i don't have one. I am going for my licence. I know i cant talk on it that's ok. i just wanna listen and learn some stuff before going for my radio licence.

Don't do anything! Dial 000000 and that's it.
What do you thing about battery life? Does it last a full day with active use?
I think you are going to need at least one extra battery and a second desk top "CD-41" rapid charger cradle with it's own AC wall adapter.
Thanks for the video. I'm presently considering purchasing an FT3D, so this was very helpful. KE0JNC
i have a question for setting a repeater with tx and rx tone are different. How can i do that on the FT3d handheld?
great video
Thank You!
If i want to insert a manual frequency as 446.00625 (PMR1) is possible to do it?
Mars! It is necessary to remove the jumper 000 under the cork
How do you program the ISS ?
Nice video. When I try to transmit with PTT buttom appear ERROR in bottom of screen. Thanks
Does it show error after you manually programmed it?
@@PrecisionGroupYT Yes

What is so good about the Nagoya antenna compared to a diamond antenna? Thanks

@@PrecisionGroupYT no worries. Do you think the Nagoya is better than a diamond antenna?

Swr is very bad
Can this radio have different tx and rx freq’s? Duplex operation?
This radio does have two independent receivers in it but you can not transmit and receive simultaneously as when you are transmitting the reception on the other VFO cuts out! Hope this answers your question 73
