I use a Pryme Trooper on my FT-60 because it's weather resistant and somewhat noise canceling. The plug fits the radio properly. John KU8Q

I have the Yaesu brand mic and it works very well. Jerry NV7GS +++++ Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I would encourage getting the Yaesu speaker/microphone for use with the FT-60. It's a good durable microphone which is designed to seat properly in the receptacle on the radio. I've had problems

From MFJ, they have the suffix "I" for Icom, "K" for Kenwood, and Y for the regular Yaesu 4 conductor pin, and "R" for the newer Yaesu 4 pin screw-in. I don't think those last two are

RE Mics, there is also a company called Pryme that makes good mics for the FT-60 and other hand-helds. GregKE5FIL

There’s an app called RepeaterBook that’s really helpful. Jerry NV7GS +++++ Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nifty makes a FT-60 quick reference card that is wallet sized. It has helped a lot when I can’t remember how to adjust a seldom used feature in the field. Stan W AI6NF Satisfied

Hi all, Would someone tell me which microphone from MFJ fits the FT-60R,and is it worth it or go with Yaesu microphone? i see MFJ-295 i,f,y. Phone call to MFJ tells me MFJ-296y. Thanks

Jardy is right... Just a note on using CHIRP software on a Mac. The good news is it works just fine. The bad news is that an extra step is required to download and run a program, which, in the

Forgot to add that the FT-60 is absolutely the easiest radio to manually program. There are none that I know of that is easier. Jardy Dawson WA7JRD Message sent through sub space hailing frequencies

It’s also good to do it manually so “in the field” you know how to do it and won’t need a computer. Jack, ae8p

There is also an Android app RepeaterBook that attempts to be a directory of all repeaters, with frequencies and offsets. I've installed it but never used it - but it does update itself now and

CHIRP software and FT-60 Commander software both work fine and are free. Google CHIRP, and check www.kc8unj.com for Commander. Cables are readily available on EBay. Jardy Dawson WA7JRD Message sent

My recommendation would be for you to obtain the ADMS software. Although it is certainly possible, and not terribly difficult, to program manually, it is a somewhat tedious process. MUCH easier to do

Welcome to a great hobby, Henry. One other caveat I must mention.......In rare cases, when you program a repeater, the FT-60 thinks it should be a "positive" (+) offset, when in fact there are

Henny, The auto repeater function only works when programming. IF THE FT60 is in VFO mode, the frequency on screen will be the frequency for both receive and transmitt. This is a great radio to

I guess the answer is that if you have programmed the repeater frequency , tone, and offset, the repeater will answer you back. The FT-60 doesn't really "know" you wanted to talk to a repeater. On

That's pretty much right Henny,? and allow me to also welcome you to Amateur Radio. The set has most of the standard repeater offsets pre-programmed.? ?The actual tones you will have to find in

Dennis, Thanks for your response. If I understand correctly, based on the band plan, there are certain frequencies or ranges of frequencies within a band that are likely to be repeaters. When I

Henny, Welcome to amateur radio! I've had a couple of FT-60s for about 11 years, you picked a good radio to start with. The FT-60 has an automatic repeater offset function which assumes
