To program a repeater on a Yaesu FTM-100D follow the simple steps below…
- Short Press [V/M MW] to get radio into VFO mode
- Set the repeater RX Frequency on the radio
- Long Press [DISP Setup] button to take you to the main menu on the radio
- Rotate the [DIAL] to highlight item 4 (SIGNALING) and short press [DISP Setup]
- Rotate the [DIAL] to highlight item 1 (TONE SQL FREQ) and short press [DISP Setup]
- Rotate the [DIAL] to highlight the required Tone Sql Freq then short press the [BACK] button

However if your repeater uses a non standard repeater shift you need to manually set this into the radio. To do this rotate the [DIAL] to item 5 (REPEATER SHIFT) and short press [DISP Setup] then rotate the [DIAL] to item 1,2 or 3 depending on your repeater requirements and press the [BACK] button. Then rotate the [DIAL] to item 6 (REPEATER SHIFT FREQ) and short press the [DISP] Setup button. Rotate the [DIAL] to the required offset frequency and press the [BACK] button
- Short press [BACK] button 2 times to take you to the main VFO screen on the radio
- You should now see a + or – symbol together with the CTCSS tone type displayed on the top of the radio display. If you don’t you need to go back to step 3 and check your settings.
- To program the repeater into menu long press the [V/M MW] button, this will take you to the memory menu
- Rotate the [DIAL] to select a memory slot
- Press [SQL Voice] which below the [TAG] option to name your repeater
- Rotate [DIAL] to select the numbers or letters required. Note: to swap between uppercase or lowercase letters or number and symbols press [TXPO] until the desired mode is active
- Press [GM] to move to the next number or letter
- Continue repeating steps 17 and 18 until you have the desired repeater name displayed. Once you are happy with the displayed repeater name simply press [DISP Setup], this should turn the line displayed on the radio black
- Press [BACK] and you have completed programming the repeater into the radio
At this point it maybe worth considering saving the settings to SD card

1. Long Press [DISP Setup] and rotate the [DIAL] to item 11 (SD)
2. Press [DISP Setup] and select item 1 (BACKUP) using the [DIAL]
3. Press [DISP Setup] and scroll to item 1 (WRITE to SD) using the [DIAL]
