Re: Can't Program Yaesu FT-60R From Keyboard


 

Great!

We often forget that most all modern radios are small "computers" and sometimes require rebooting to restore original functionality.?

Hello Mark,

I finally got brave and decided to do an F1 SETRST.
That has fixed the problem:-)

I was very reluctant to do any level of reset before backing the radio up as I have a LOT of stuff programmed into the radio.

But now that I can program my FT-60R from the keyboard again, I will try to make up an adapter cable for one of my other genuine Prolific cables for another radio and use Chirp to back it up. And to tidy up the programming whilst I am at it.

Thanks to all who responded. And to KG7MQL for his great treatise on interpreting the Yaesu handbook in the Files section of this group.

You've also tried the minor Reset of the radio as well, short of clearing your memory settings as well?

Hi Kelly,
No, keyboard lock is not on.
I can go through the process of programming a new channel or transferring a channel to a bank, but when I press whatever key is required to complete the step, PTT, V/M, etc, the radio just does not accept the change.
Very frustrating.

Did you check to see if the keyboard lock is on?? There will be key icon on the display when this is on.? Press and hold the 6 key to toggle this.

Subject: [Yaesu-FT-60] Can't Program Yaesu FT-60R From Keyboard
?
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.
