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.

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
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

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.

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
