Think I will go with the 2000mah Eneloops. My battery pack is still in good shape, but I do have the battery holder for it and use it when the pack is dead until I can charge it up in the radio. I

2000 mAh. The greatest benefit of the Eneloops for me is the low self-discharge. I'm not a heavy user; the HT can sit a while between uses. 73, Nick, AA3T

Personally, I "lock up" very few - if any - repeaters with CTCSS. I leave 'em ALL "open tone" on receive. Hasn't been a problem the past 15+ years. It also prevents keying up on another's conversation

The answer, sadly, is no. I called and was told that the FT-60 does not have that capability. It CAN have a CTSS/DCS for xmt/rcv or vice versa but not separate tones of the same type. Very annoying!

If you save the programming for each repeater into a memory location it will save the RX / TX frequency, tone and power level (I think) for each one. Clint has a good quick programming guide you can

Out of curiosity I was thinking of getting some new eneloops for my FT60 since I have the AA battery case for it. I assume you are using the 2000mah eneloops or the newer 2500mah eneloops? Also what

Huh? When has Yaesu issued a firmware update on a FT-60R? Clint Bradford, K6LCS

You've done the hard part: researching your region, and finding the local machines of interest. What makes the programming software/cable attractive is that you can quickly enter alphanumeric

Each memory can be programmed with its own tone. Also power level and repeater offset frequency. I my area, some repeaters are on a 1.00 MHz offset instead of 0.600 MHz. 73, Nick, AA3T

I listen to several repeaters with a tone of 107.2. One has a different ctcss tone. Will the FT60 accept more than one ctcss tone while keeping the others? I have read the manual and still don't know.

I travel quite a bit with my FT-60R. I have programmed all of the repeaters in for the three different places I usually visit, as well as our local ones here in "slower lower" Delaware. I then use the

Depends on how many different repeaters you have in your area and what your personal time is worth. For a few repeaters, no big deal. But when you have 150-200 to do, the cable and software makes it

Thanks Kevin.? That is very helpful.? I did not even know anything about that.? It would seem to be a good option, especially if you travel a lot with your radio.? 73, Dennis ? "My power is made

I see you already have a few responses to your question?regarding programing software.? Let me back up a little to let you know ?a little more about what we are referring to when we speak of

I have about a dozen repeaters in my area, in 2 meter, and 70cm bands.? I found it pretty easy to put them in.? There are only 3 or 4 that needed tones, but that was easy, too.? It took me about 30

I purchased a USB programming cable from an Ebay seller for $8.89 and then downloaded the Commander software. Made it a snap to program the radio. I use it primarily as a scanner and have a mix of

Depending on your location and your needs, you may not need a cable. Did you put the PL tones (if any) into the frequency? If you don't travel much and only have a few repeaters in your area,

Call HRO and get the Yaesu software and it comes with a cable. After-market cables require an adapter to make the computer and the software to talk back and fore to radio. I found this the best way to

I'm new to the world of HAM, but I do not know what programming is needed for the FT-60. I just saved my local repeaters in memory and gave them a name. Is there more that I am missing. I don't have

Thanks for the suggestions. I am still mystified, but I will try a new battery. gr GLEN REID Austin k5fx@... I like Tofu -- Unfortunately, I like it battered and deep fried. _____ Sent:
