FT60-E Replacement Antenna
What antenna do folks recommend as a replacement for the standard antenna supplied by yaesu please? I am looking to try and improve the effectiveness of the handset on 2M transmit. Regards

Re: TONE vs. CTCSS vs. DSC
Only time I do is at events on simplex ... Out here in Southern CA, not a single one of my rigs is programed "closed tone" for any of the repeaters. Two cases-in-point immediately come to

Re: TONE vs. CTCSS vs. DSC
You NEVER have to use DCS or CTCSS (PL) on receive. These repeaters might put out the tones, but you only have to use them if you are getting interference from other repeaters or electrical devices.

Re: TONE vs. CTCSS vs. DSC
PL (Private Line) CTCSS (continuous Tone-Coded Squelch) DCS is Digital Code Squelch. Many repeater directories use PL to mean CTCSS and DPL to mean DCS They are simply two different ways to cause

Re: TONE vs. CTCSS vs. DSC
Tone means it produces a pl tone when transmitting. CTCSS means it produces tone AND takes a tone to open squelch. DCS is a digital method of opening/closing squelch. Same purpose as the other two,

TONE vs. CTCSS vs. DSC
Hi there. Sorry if this question seems simple and novice, bit I really need help understanding why Ft60 makes such differentiations. I get the last two tones perfectly. But the TONE option throws me

Re: Adding tone to memory channel
Great little HT! I made a bunch of contacts last night on SO-50. I modified my antenna for working duplex (with the Baofeng as transmitter) and on a very low pass today I heard my own signal faint and

Re: Adding tone to memory channel
I found out what the rig is doing, but am not what I am doing!!! I did a complete reset so had only empty channels. So now I see that sometimes when I think I have saved the tone data to the

Re: Adding tone to memory channel
You have to save the new settings to the same memory channel you are using, otherwise the changes are in VFO only. When you changes channels and go back, there is no choice but to use the old

Re: Adding tone to memory channel
Thanks Jardy. That is what I've been doing, and the "T" comes on for the channel while I am still using that channel but it reverts to either no tone or 88.5 as soon as I leave it. The channels I

Re: Adding tone to memory channel
First you have to turn on 'Tone' (F1), then pick the tone freq (F2), then save in same memory slot. Jardy Dawson WA7JRD Ham Radio Message relayed from secret Hillary Clinton server, located in the

Re: Adding tone to memory channel
That doesn't work either. I think the problem is a factory default tone setting of 88.5 Hz (all repeaters in Japan), which I have not found any way to override, even with Set Menu 50. 73, Steve

Thanks for letting me join. I recently got a FT-60 to work the LEO satellites. I didn't get a programming cable but managed to put in all the uplink and downlink frequencies for SO-50 and AO-85 on

There should be a card in the box the cable and disc came in that will walk you through uploading and downloading the radio file into the radio. If that doesn't help, RTSystems has pretty good "How

Re: NEW FT 60 User
I will tell you that you need to DOWNLOAD from the radio first before you do anything. Then - before you touch that file - save it so you always have that original template. When you update that
