Jim, ? I have a compromise that should work. As I write my Beginner¡¯s Guide to the FT-60, I will post it on my web site (). Those interested in correcting or adding to it can work with me off list. ? It is slow going because I am trying to document as many beginner errors as I can recall. When version 1.0 is ready I will post the fact on this BBS once. No ongoing notices will be posted. I hope that others new to the FT-60 will contact me with problems they are having so both the problem and the solution may be included in the guide. ? It should be soon. I¡¯m at page 14 right now and want to get a few more functions done first. The goal of this guide is for a beginner to use it in conjunction with the Operating Manual plus a working FT-60. I am not trying to create a new Operating Manual. ? As with all of my articles, this one will be marked Copyleft so anyone that wants it can have it without charge. They just can¡¯t modify the copy and distribute it. All changes must be to the master by me, the author/editor. ? All of us are smarter than any one of us. ? 73, ? Rick KG7MQL ? ? ? Rick you are fine. I'm glad to see your enthusiasm! ?Keep the questions coming. I personally have learned a couple things based off of answers to your questions.?

? Sorry about that. Yes, I will curb my enthusiasm. ? 73, ? Rick ? ? ? Might I suggest you try not to absorb everything in one day. ?By the end of today you will have a fuzzy mind. ?You have sent 25 emails with 25 questions so far. ?Did you ever think you could ask 2 questions per email ? ?Or even 3 or 4. ?I understand your enthusiasm but ease up a little. ?Please. ? ? ? Don, ? My manual also shows Memory Bank Scan on page 39 but the figures do not show the ¡°b¡±. Not sure if you are saying that your copy of the manual shows the ¡°b¡±. However, it is certainly doing a bank scan. ? It wasn¡¯t that page 33¡¯s Memory Bank Recall was wrong, just did not fully explain to me what to expect and what will happen if I do anything wrong. As a newbie, I like to avoid surprises while I try to learn something new. ? 73, ? Rick ? ? ? The "Memory Bank Recall" function works for me exactly as written in the manual. If you press and hold V/M in the manual's step 4, what you try to avoid in your step 4, you'll enter "Memory Bank Scan" mode (I guess the "b" is for "bank scan"). See page 39 (in my manual, anyway) for more info.

I would appreciate others testing this procedure to see if it works for them. ? 73, ? Rick KG7MQL ?
