Each of us have had to reduce this menu setting to 2 or 3. The mid-range setting of 5 appears to be too high for everyone in our club that has one of these radios. One would be to reduce the default mic gain slightly.
There are a couple things that would improve this radio a bit without adding to its cost.
I especially like the AMS feature which follows the repeater as it goes back and forth between analog and digital modes perfectly. As a basic dual mode 2M radio it works well. I bought a 3200DR to accomplish these goals and it performs that job as a base station just fine. As the club's repeater trustee I wanted to get a radio to be able give this new digital mode a try as well as be able to monitor the activity as I should. One of the club's members is providing network connectivity through his node station and everything appears to be working very well. My local club recently installed a System Fusion repeater in place of a 2M analog FM only unit. The versatile FTM-3200DR transceiver also utilizes the ever-popular Digital Group Monitor (GM) function a terrific asset allowing users to see at a glance if registered members of a group are within communication range. The AMS mode instantly recognizes whether a transmission is digital or analog, and appropriately switches the operating mode to allow flawless co-existence of both digital and analog users. While the new FTM-3200DR is a solid and durable transceiver in keeping with Yaesu’s legendary mechanical toughness, it also incorporates new technology such as Automatic Mode Select (AMS), one of the most advanced features of System Fusion. One of the distinguishing features of this exciting new mobile transceiver is the Front Panel Speaker delivering 3 Watts of loud and crystal clear audio designed for stress-free and enjoyable communications - even in noisy environments. The FTM-3200DR is a ruggedly built yet compact C4FM/FM VHF mobile transceiver, providing high output power of up to 65 Watts to ensure stable long-distance communications.
