Re: FT-60 Possible Problem- suggestions?

?If you are trying to transmit outside the ham bands, the radio will beep and show 'error'. Turning off and on is a bad battery, even if voltage shows high enough on power on. If it works when on a cigarette lighter plug, that confirms it.? Jardy Dawson WA7JRD Sent from the Death Star for Darth Vader's eyes only. Any other reception will be severely punished. ?

Hank,
You might also check the offset.? I did this, and the offset
frequency was OUTSIDE the hamabands, even though the recieve
frequency was inside the hambands.? I checked the offset and it
appears the ARS had somehow gotten turned off, and the the
transmit freq was about 2.?? Mhz above the recieve freq.? This was
problematic as I was trying to program in a 147.xxx repeater.? Of
course I also checked the battery voltage and antenna connector,
went thru everything that I thought was pertinent.? Of course,
this was the last thing that I checked HIHI.

Encountering a problem in programming
my FT-60. ?After entering a frequency
(frequency+tone+tone freq.) ?and storing it in memory
channel #2 (for example) any attempt to transmit on that
channel results in FT-60 shutdown (power off to blank
screen), and reboot to startup screen with audible
beeps, 'MEMORY', ?battery voltage value and then
contents of memory channel 2 showing on screen.

I have tried a complete reset (F4
ALLRST). I have tried programming manually and via
software.
?
All receive functions are fine. I can
receive ham bands, public safety, weather channels, etc.
Battery functions are fine.
?
This FT-60 has worked fine in the
past, but has been out of service for a couple of years
and simply stored carefully.
?
Any suggestions as to the problem
transmitting would be appreciated. Thanks.
