When you go to save the new info to the existing channel, look to see what channel number you are modifying. ?If the channel number is flashing, that is the next open channel. ?Rotate the dial back to the other number, then save it. ?The FT-60 is absolutely the easiest handheld to manually program. I believe in the Files section, Cliff had put a one page cheat sheet that shows the steps. ?For computer programming, you can use FT-60 Commander software (free), , CHIRP (free), google it, or RT Systems (expensive, but good).

I found out what the rig is doing, but am not
what I am doing!!!
I did a complete reset so had only empty channels. So now I see
that sometimes when I think I have saved the tone data to the
channel I had set, it actually saved everything to a higher
channel, which I guess is the "first available channel" that the
clever microprocessor finds. I finally got a full set of 6
satellite frequencies by deleting channels until only the
correctly saved ones were in order. That will work for me for the
time being since I can roll through them in order during a pass.
Since some of my channel settings were correctly saved and others
were not, I must have not been consistent in how I was saving the
input information.
Can hardly wait until my new programming cable comes in the
mail!!!
