Re: So I am hopelessly lost on this FT-60R
Scott, since you've programmed your FT60 via software, I'm not sure why some folks are giving you programming advice. My guess is that you have just discovered most repeaters don't have a lot of

Re: So I am hopelessly lost on this FT-60R
Scott, if you are having problems programing & get stuck you may be better off doing a factory reset and start out fresh.
Just something to keep in mind.

Re: So I am hopelessly lost on this FT-60R
Chris, I never even tried my Adams 1-J cd. My needs are simple, only listen to maybe 5 or 6 repeaters. Once in awhile I'll just let it scan all bands.

Re: So I am hopelessly lost on this FT-60R
I do not use any software to program mine. I was going to have you tap the vfo via V/M and put in 162.550 and see if you hear the national weather station to make sure the radio receiver is working

No, I can't see the frequencies, just the names...? Wish I could send you a screenshot of the software I used...? Just sent it to another person.
