My recommendation would be for you to obtain the ADMS software. Although it is certainly possible, and not terribly difficult, to program manually, it is a somewhat tedious process. MUCH easier to do it on the computer and ¡°zap¡± it into the radio when you¡¯re done. You can make whatever adjustments you need, including alpha-naming, if you want to do that.

Hi,?
I am brand new to the FT-60 and new to radio in general.? I am a bit confused about using a repeater with this radio and couldn't find the answer in the manual though it must be in there.
The FT-60 is programmed nicely to Listen in on a repeater and transmit on the expected offset frequency even with a tone if it is needed.? But how does the FT-60 know that you are speaking to a repeat and not directly to another person (simplex) ?? Do I program the radio that a particular frequency is a repeater or does it have a way to figure this out on its own?
