Re: FT60 Setting for Wires
That is the 2nd button from the left, Has the atom icon and is the 0 button. Also a Set function. According to the directions that is what you do.
I must not be holding my mouth right. I will keep trying.

I don’t have a radio in front of me, but I believe you do a quick press and release of the lower left hand button. There should be a symbol that looks like the ‘atom’ sign.?

I am not sure what was wrong?? After playing with it for a while, it seemed to be locked up with "save" flashing and a memory symbol(as shown in the manual on page 31--something like "Eun"). regards to? Memory Offset Tuning.? But it is fixed now! Again, thanks for all your advise!! 73 Bob

If you think it might have something to do with the battery that is attached.? Remove the battery.? If you have a AA battery pack, load it with fresh cells and see.? If you have a cigarette lighter, or USB style charging cord you could go that route.? You can also use any wall wort that provides DC per the manual:
EXT DC Jack
This coaxial DC jack
allows connection to
an external DC power
source (6-16V DC).
The center pin of this
jack is the Positive (+)
connection.

Are you trying to transmit on a frequency outside the ham bands? ?The radio has a lot of frequencies it can receive, but can only transmit in ham bands.?

Yes, I have a couple of ft-50 radios and I have the spring pins for the battery contacts. Those commonly go bad as well as the power button.

it could be only a gummed up switch pad
I believe those switches are a carbon filled rubber pad on the underside of the push buttons that makes a circuit on the pcb and over time the pcb gets gummed up from the rubber. ? you might try taking it apart and cleaning the pcb traces that make up the switch contacts and the conductive black rubber on the push buttons using cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol. do not aggressively scrub the black rubber or you will scrub the conductive carbon particles out of the rubber. ? just a thought.

? Hello,
?
My FT-60R's monitor button stopped working, so I couldn't get into the settings menu.
?
I took it to Yaesu for repairs, and they came back saying that I need a new main board due to water damage, and that replacement cost is about $240+
?
Does anyone have a board for sale, or know where I can get one reasonably cheap keeping in mind that the price of a brand new radio is: $155.00?
?
Thank you - Samer
