Jim, Per the FT-60R specs in the back of the manual, Air Band sensitivity is .8uv which is much worse than the .2uv on 2m and 70cm. The reduced sensitivity coupled with an antenna not designed for

You could build a discone antenna that should work well, pretty easily. I googled, and there were a lot of hits for it. To: FT-60@... Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2016 6:25 PM

I don't think you are going to get any s\mall antenna that will be a big inprovement over the stock antenna. It will tune down there but is not designed to be a airband receiver. ?K3CLT Chuck

I have been using a Comet SMA24 for some time and am very happy with its performance. +++++ Jerry, KG7NOR +++++ Live simple, love well, and take time to smell the flowers along the way. ~ Mark

Hello, What is a good recommendation for an antenna for the 108-137Mhz range? I currently have a Diamond SRH77CA on my FT-60r, but it's failing to pick up traffic whereas my CCrane with a short

I don't understand the problems everyone is having. I have had a FT-60 over two years and the only problem I have had is not using the batteries that everyone is trying to install to the FT-60. The

Any Eneloop AA larger than 2000mHa is just too large in circumference to fit properly in the battery tray. Been there, done that. Expensive lesson. 73 John KU8Q

I think someone mentioned that problem in this forum and, I think, a fix, but it has not been a problem here. You might try searching for "Eneloop" in the forum to see what pops up. 73, JERRY,

I bought two Yaesu trays and enough Enloop AA batteries to fill them. They appear to hold their charge very well in storage; however, I can't get the clip to close. It appears the Enloops are slightly

I think a good solution is to purchase one or two of the AA-cell battery trays for the radio (I just have one tray, but have been thinking of getting one more), each of which holds six batteries. Then

Got mine from Amazon $13.59 with free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/FNB-83-Replacement-Battery-1400mAh-VX-210A/product-reviews/B00VB9HDD6 Since this is a new purchase I have no info

Hey Fred and All, As you said "OH dont throw away the old battery" when you have the time, you can disassemble them, and make an AA battery tray out of them. 73 Wassim WN6WJN >

Where did you purchase the battery and how much please. I need to get a few also. mine been doing same tyhing for a long time. got a ft1dr so not using the ft-60 as much. I have seen cheap batteries

Installing a new FNB-83 battery has solved the problem. Transmitting is working fine now. Appreciate all the suggestions. Hank KB1JLA Sent: Friday, July 15, 2016 9:28 PM To:

Hello All "We are assuming that you are loading a freq within the ham bands, right?" But even if the frequency is out of band, or the capabilities of the radio,the normal behavior is 1) not to allow

Thanks.

It works fine on the car cig lighter plug, so pretty much confirms bad battery. Have a new one on order. Appreciate the feed back. Hank KB1JLA I did check the offsets, etc. and those were ok.

If you are trying to transmit outside the ham bands, the radio will beep and show 'error'. Turning off and on is a bad battery, even if voltage shows high enough on power on. If it works when on a

Hank, You might also check the offset. I did this, and the offset frequency was OUTSIDE the hamabands, even though the recieve frequency was inside the hambands. I checked the offset and it appears

It sounds like the battery voltage is pk under the light load condition of receiving. Batteries often start to fail by not being able to supply high current..
