Yes it is definitely an older and discontinued radio. That is nice that he is giving it to you. I don't have any first hand experience with the FT-3000M but it is a well liked radio.

It looks like the higher-power version of the FT-7100, I have 3 of those radios. They're pretty good rigs, I've had one setup on a PK-88 as a home packet station for several years.

Why is it that all the Youtube videos on this thing or in some other language than English.
I did not see a single one in English. Also, can this thing work repeaters? I tried looking at the manual, but the few that I found only seem to go to like P.18 when the index shows at least 64 pages. Of the stuff I gleaned though, I did not see any text or mention of programing in a repeater. But I could have missed it, I'm at work, lookin at this on my phone and working on 3 other issues at the same time. |

I exchanged it for a Kenwood TM-G707, which scanned really slow, but worked. OP, I would be VERY SURPRISED if it didn't have auto repeater shift as Yaesu rigs before and after this one did. |

Certainly it works repeaters. It has both DCS and the older analog CTCSS (continuous tone coded squelch system) It will even do odd repeater splits. I imagine that has to be programmed into a memory channel.
I would estimate that its value is still around $100. Free is nice. Remember new mic cords can be bought on e-bay for around $10 if that one is split and worn out. Those series of rigs always seem to have worn out mic cords. I have replaced a few. Eazy Peazy. |

I really like YAESU rigs for VHF/UHF
I find it easy way to program them. . . . I prefer Kenwood or Icom for HF. I find YAESU HF rigs are less user friendly

Can anyone find a full manual for this radio?
Every version I've seen, the Index goes too like 58 or so, but the file it only goes to P18 and leaves me hangin... |

Looks like it was only made for about 3 years.
