Re: FT-60 - EOL
eBay? I wold never buy a new FT-60R from anyone on eBay. Might be some legitimate, authorized dealers there - but I will only purchase new goods from HRO.
And if anyone anywhere else says they have new FT-60R units for much less than $150 - they are probably NOT legitimate, authorized-to-sell Yaesu products. |

Re: Can't delete memories/ any suggestions
开云体育Here is an alternate interpretation of that user manual page: ? ? starting on page 32. You will see the line “FW 1s/DIAL/HMRV” which is the sequence. The “1s” means press for 1 second. I tested it on my radio and it worked for me. ? Rick ? From: FT-60@... [mailto:FT-60@...]

Re: Can't delete memories/ any suggestions
开云体育Try over-writing each one you want to delete with 0.0-that usually does it for me, but if you're gonna? do that, you might as well put in the new frequency that you want to change it to. Either way will work. Good luck!

Re: Can't delete memories/ any suggestions
Patrick Miller
开云体育I just contacted Yaesu about this problem. ?I finally managed to delete a memory channel with the help from Tim, one of their very helpful technical support people. ? The secret was barely touching the "HM/RV" key. ?And I mean much more than a slight touch will result in starting all over!! ?I find this a bit frustrating, so usually I just wait until the next time I update my FT-60R with the RT Systems Software. ?Tim's email is included below. Good luck, I hope this helps. 73 Patrick Miller, VE6PRM Wetaskiwin, Alberta Canada Patrick: How to Deleting Memories from the FT-60 is a common question.? The instructions on Page 32 of your Operating Manual, are correct.? The important thing to remember is when asked to “Press the HM/RV”, think If you press to long it will not delete the memory. ? ?73 Tim Factor, KT7F On Jul 20, 2017, at 8:24 PM, michael rose mrosepdx@...

Re: Beep-beep-beep when transmitting
If the beeps are coming through a repeater you might want to check to see if they have the WIRES function activated. Look for the little electron symbol on the screen. If it is on then push the ZERO key on the touch pad so it the symbol goes away. This beep normally covers up the first couple seconds of a transmission.

Re: New user ? - charging FT-60
Jim K5JG
FT-60's manufactured prior to early 2013 CAN be charged with either the
AC adapter plugged into the side of the radio or with the drop-in charger. FT-60's manufactured since early 2013 can ONLY be charged in the drop-in charger. The change was made due to a California law that requires chargers that put out over 5 volts to automatically shut-off when the device is fully charged, something the wall wart cannot do. 73, Jim K5JG On 6/6/2017 9:57 AM, Gerald Stein nv7gs1@...

Re: New user ? - charging FT-60
开云体育I leave mine in the charging cradle continuously and have been doing that for the last couple of years. My understanding is the only way the radio can be charged is in the cradle. It can be powered using the DC plug on the side, but that does not charge the battery.
