The Yaesu FT-3185E ASP is a powerful 2-meter mobile transceiver, delivering an impressive 85W of reliable transmit power, selectable at 85W, 50W, 20W, or 5W. Its unique fanless design with a massive heatsink ensures stability and durability for sustained operation. With the Super-DX function and ASP (Audio Digital Signal Processing), this transceiver optimizes weak signal reception, enhancing audio clarity and expanding communication range, making it perfect for both local and long-distance contacts.
Designed for convenience and customisation, the FT-3185EASP includes the Primary Memory Group (PMG) and a Customized Function List (CFL) for quick access to frequently used functions. With 221 memory channels, DTMF keypad entry, and versatile scanning options, it’s a well-rounded transceiver built for flexibility and performance.
Key Features:
- 85W selectable power (85W/50W/20W/5W) with fanless heatsink cooling
- Super-DX mode with ASP for weak signal reception
- PMG for quick access to priority channels
- 221 memory channels with alphanumeric labels
- DTMF microphone for quick frequency input
The Yaesu FT-3185E ASP is engineered to deliver high-performance, dependable communication with an impressive 85W of transmit power. Users can select between four output levels—85W, 50W, 20W, and 5W—suiting a variety of operating conditions. Unlike traditional cooling methods, the FT-3185EASP utilises a massive fanless heatsink that provides superior heat dissipation and enhances the transceiver's reliability and longevity, even during extended use.
The FT-3185EASP features Yaesu’s Super-DX mode, which is designed to improve weak signal reception by increasing receiver sensitivity, making it ideal for areas with challenging signal conditions. The Audio Digital Signal Processing (ASP) further enhances weak signals, ensuring audio clarity on long-distance or faint transmissions. Together, these features expand the communication range and provide users with clear, consistent audio quality, even under less-than-ideal conditions.
The transceiver is highly customisable for quick and efficient operation. The Primary Memory Group (PMG) allows users to assign up to 5 frequently used VFO or memory channels for real-time monitoring with a bar graph display. PMG offers both AUTO and MANUAL modes for effortless channel management, providing automatic or manual channel selection based on user preference. Additionally, the Customized Function List (CFL) lets users store up to 9 of their most-used functions from the 44 available menus for immediate access, making this transceiver easy to adapt to individual user needs.
For convenience, the FT-3185EASP is equipped with 221 memory channels, each with a 6-character alphanumeric label for organised access. The supplied DTMF microphone enables quick frequency entry, while scanning features like Preferential Memory Scan, VFO Scan, and Dual Watch allow users to tailor scanning to their specific preferences. Other useful features include CTCSS/DCS encode/decode for secure communications, RF squelch, and EPCS (Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch) operation, providing reliability and security in communication. The transceiver also includes Automatic Power Off (APO), Time-Out Timer (TOT), and Busy Channel Lock-out (BCLO) for added safety and operational control. For users in the USA, it comes with NOAA Weather Broadcast Channels and Weather Alert functionality, keeping operators informed of critical weather updates.
The FT-3185EASP is a comprehensive, high-powered transceiver designed for both seasoned operators and those seeking reliable communication over long distances. With its powerful output, advanced signal processing, and intuitive customisation options, it’s a versatile tool for any ham radio operator.
