Yaesu FT-3165R VHF FM Mobile Transceivers are powerful mobile transceivers designed for the 2-meter amateur band, offering up to 65W of power with additional selectable power settings of 30W or 5W. They feature an efficient cooling fan to maintain optimal performance. Essential features include CTCSS/DCS encode/decode, Automatic Power-Off (APO), Time-Out Timer (TOT), and Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS), making the FT-3165R a reliable choice for mobile 2-meter operation.

The FT-3165R transceiver offers enhanced audio quality with a new front speaker delivering 5W of loud audio, specifically tuned for improved sound quality. They include advanced features like the Super-DX function, which improves audio performance in noisy environments. Installation of the optional SPU-1 Audio Digital Signal Processing Unit (ASP) improves the audio quality of weak signals and expands the communication range (sold separately). Additionally, FT-3165R includes 10 NOAA Weather channels with Weather Alert, providing added functionality for users who rely on receiving current weather updates.
