Re: FT-60 powers off and on when PTT is pushed
I think some rechargeables can be slightly larger than AA batteries. I have seen where someone tried to fit rechargeables into the AA battery case and they can't get the last one into the case.

Re: FT-60 powers off and on when PTT is pushed
You might consider getting the empty battery tray and using six AA cells. I use NiMH cells because they do a great job and have a long life in terms of how long they stay charged when not being used

FT-60 powers off and on when PTT is pushed
