Re: now I are one!
Rick, Welcome to ham radio! I also checked the FCC database and didn't find your name (no Sparber in all of Arizona). When you do get your call sign, there are two nets I recommend for new hams.

Re: FT Commander help
I just had the same problem using Chirp and an FTDI cable. It reads the radio well, but would not write. I finally gave up and purchased the FTB60 software (downloadable) from Bob

Re: now I are one!
Rick, This will be a very long few days. I let my license expire and had to retest from scratch. I would check the website several times a day just to be sure I had not missed

Repeater question
When I see "Repeater Heading: north" does this mean that the main radiating lobe is pointing north? Could not find the answer with Google. 73 Rick 5 days since I passed my test - no call sign

Re: now I are one!
You don¡¯t need to have the physical license in hand in order to transmit. All you need to do is verify that your new call sign appears in the FCC database. You should be able to look that up

Re: now I are one!
Gerald, Listening is all I got right now. It has been only 5 days since I passed the tests and no license yet. I looked at various clubs in and around Phoenix. One in Mesa seems to be the most

FT60 programming memory banks. Help!
I just got a new FT60 and am trying to program it so I have one bank of amateur frequencies and another bank of "scanner" frequncies. I would like to do it this way so I can easily disable the scanner

Re: now I are one!
Rick, Listening is good. It doesn¡¯t take long to understand the flow of the QSOs. I also remember other HAMS being very patient and welcoming with me as I got started. The other thing I

Re: External antennas
Here in the mountains it's not unusual when talking to someone who?is mobile to have a long pause in a conversation. We just wait for the answer because we assume they are dealing with traffic or

Re: FT-60 User's Manual
Mark, I agree 100%. About the only thing the FT-530 lacked was the ability to be programmed via computer which wasn't common (or available at all) at the time. Of course, it only had 41 memories for

Re: FT-60 User's Manual
The FT-530 was probably the best HT that Yaesu ever made. Probably even better than the FT-51R.

Re: Ft-60 powering off on transmit.
Some radios will do that if there is high swr (auto transmitter protection circuit).? Does it do it with the antenna from the other radio?? Just a thought.? 73
