Congratulations, Todd. The TF-60 is a great radio. I have had mine for over 10 years and the only thing I had to do is get another battery. The one thing I like about the radio is that it has a squelch knob. It makes is nice for satellite use.
Hello from Edmond Oklahoma! I have been reading the messages on this group and getting plenty of good ideas and advise. Last night I successfully passed the Technician exam, and I expect to receive my new call-sign from the FCC on Monday! I bought a used FT-60R on Ebay, and have it working with Commander for programming from my Windows 11 laptop. I have it loaded with local repeaters, and will be joining the local club EARS (Edmond Amateur Radio Society). Thanks to this group I successfully got the programming cable driver issues worked out... still very much the noob in HAM and with the FT-60, and looking forward to learning more and my first successful contact, hopefully tomorrow or the next day when I am FCC officially licensed. 73 Todd
