I just came across this video on adjusting the deviation on the FT-60. Has anyone here felt the need to do this?
I've been wary of "peaking" a radio ever since I owned a Realistic HTX-202 many years ago, that was far too hot to begin with.
And, whenever I hear an FT-60 on the air, it sounds great.
That said, I would like to document this, along with some other things I've read about the radio, before getting one.
I'm blind, so I'm only going by what he says out loud in this video, but I'm pretty sure the steps are the following.
1. Push Monitor and Lamp simultaneously, while powering on the radio. The display should say "Set RST".
2. press UP, 0, 1, 7, VM, FW. Display should say "ref. xxx"
3. Press FW, then BAND 3 times (I assume you press BAND 3 times, not both FW and BAND 3 times), but it's not absolutely clear how he says it
4. Press PTT within 5 seconds, and then UP several times.
(I'm a little lost at this point. do the available settings wrap around? He talks about going from 3FH to 0).
Is all of the above accurate?
Any other tips and tricks you'd like to share, things not immediately findable in the menus?
Thanks,
Chris
