Hello Jayne, You might also consider buying the Yaesu FBA-25A Compact Dry Battery Case. It takes 6 standard AA Alkaline batteries and is a great emergency battery. I have had my FT-60R since 2009

Hi, Jayne! And welcome to the FT-60 and ham worlds! I've had my unit for years and worn out several batteries and wouldn't trade it for anything.? If I remember correctly the early FT-60s were able

Hi Jayne, The battery seems worn out.? It just can't provide enough current for full power transmit any more.? You can buy a replacement, or you can modify the battery you have.? There are threads

Congratulations on your bravery and success. I've never opened mine up. Christian KD2LIN

Indeed! I've also learned something about troubleshooting my HT, in addition to taking it apart and putting it back together. And I was challenged there in the strangest of places (the battery holding

Like everyone else, it's the battery. Great little radio. Used one in SAR work, never let me down.

As far as I know, yes. It's the charger that came with the radio new and has been working just fine since I bought the radio back in January. The old technology-new battery issue might be related to

Hi Jane. At least you know that with a full charge of the FT-60, you have a rugged, proven performer of a radio, perhaps the best analog HT currently available, maybe the best one made in the last

Again, proper charger for battery chemistry?? Sent from AOL on Android

Thanks for your responses. Brother Murphy can indeed be a pain in regions far south of my neck, and I can well imagine the stupidity level that traverses your collective bandwidth. I promise I'm not

Welcome to the group and to amateur radio. I’ve been a new ham since 1990 and love my FT60R. I can’t improve on the advice you’ve gotten here. Since you saved some $$ buying the FT60R used, you

It just hit me.... We didn't ask Jayne, if she has? the proper charger to match the chemistry of the? battery you are using????? Sent from AOL on Android On Sat, Oct 28, 2023 at 10:20 PM,

Please don't take it in that way. You are getting good advice. Fact is, for the FT60, 7.2 VDC straight from the charger pretty much only nominal as the manual states. It also states 6 volts in

You are getting standard and good advice. Fact is, voltage is only one indicator for a battery. The ability to produce current is more important. Older batts may show voltage but can't supply the

In my experience with online discussion boards, it's kind of par for the course to get some responses that come off as condescending. For whatever it's worth, I use the FT-60 and the battery is at

Well, evidently I’ll just have to wait until I get my replacement battery for the new battery I bought because I suspected the one I had was going bad. Tomorrow’s chore is to put my radio back

It's my understanding that 7.2V reading on a fully charged battery is a bad battery.? It should read higher on a fully charged battery if it's a FNB-83 battery.? There is a lot of info on these

Brother Murphy can take something working today and messed up tomorrow when really need. :) "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong at the most inopportune time. " A lot of people (like me) get on

As chance would have it, I do have a newly purchased battery that HRO has to replace because it’s bad. The thing is: I’ve been transmitting at that power level without any difficulty. I was

Agree with John Thacker.? Sometimes odd things happen, but the answer may be more simple than we anticipate.? I have worked with tech support with computers for many, many years.? I always start
