Hello All,

I posted a similar plea to this previously but did not get a reply. Fingers crossed this time...

I can not program my FT-60R from the keyboard anymore. S/No 6N450402 Made in Japan:-)
And yes, I know how to do it. I have had the radio for many, many years and recently tried to set up another bank for a special event.
The radio will no longer accept any manual programming. I can't find a "Program Lockout" SET function.

I read somewhere that the memory programming either gets corrupted or the memory chip programming capability goes faulty.
And that the system firmware cannot be rewritten via the normal programming port the way modern radios can. (FW in Masked ROM???)
Otherwise the radio works fine. I can use existing memory locations and Banks just fine and VFO operation is fine.
I just can't program new channels or Banks.
Haven't tried Chirp.

I am reluctant to to use any of the F1-F4 Memory Clear functions in case the Memory Write function is, in fact, unusable as I have an awful lot of channels preprogrammed.
Does anyone have any experience in this regard?

Any assistance welcome.
