Re: Opening up the FT 60/MARS Modificatoin
Wouxun KG-UV6, Anytone 868, 878, etc. look for Part 90 certified. Commercial radios can do ham freqs, ham radio cannot do commercial or public safety.

Re: YAESU FT60 AND VX8DR MARS CAP MODIFICATION
Bad title for the MOD.? The mod would NOT make the radio legal or acceptable on CAP freqs.? There is currently NO amateur VHF radio legal on the NTIA freqs assigned to CAP.

Re: Opening up the FT 60/MARS Modificatoin
I don't believe the FT 60 is Narrowband capable.?Opening up the frequency section would not give you much access to MARS or Public Safety in the USA as both services have converted to this mode.

Re: YAESU FT60 AND VX8DR MARS CAP MODIFICATION
The radio still needs type accepted. Why not just get a radio that is legal for both? Wouxun KG-UV6 would be one example. The Vertex 180v would be another.

It is not illegal to modify the radio. It is illegal to transmit if there is not an emergency.

If you’re like me and have a ham radio for both hobby and emergency situations, you may want to consider opening up the radio. This would increase your coverage and in the event of a true emergency

Re: vx-180v
180v will do ham and public safety Drew’s, simplex or repeaters. They use the same batteries as the FT-60.

Well, the FT-70 was easier than I expected: enter freq, press Mode button, and key the mic to access a local Yaesu System Fusion repeater!

Any FT-60 owners with FT-65?
As intuitive as my FT60R is, my new FT-65 is the opposite? !!!
