Re: Battery FNB-83 Different voltage readings
Diodes are not resistors. Someone stated that the voltage drop in this scenario was caused by a diode. Diodes do not block - they allow current in one direction. Why would a diode cause this voltage drop?

Re: Can't get FT 60R to scan all 5 bands
Thanks, Jardy. Just gives me the selections as turning the dial to ALL. Tried hold the BAND button down too. Gary KY8M

Re: Battery FNB-83 Different voltage readings
I may be missing?your?point when you say "diodes acting as resistors" - if so, I apologize.
Diodes only get warm when there is current flowing.? Think of a diode more as a battery. Semiconductor?junctions have voltage drops:??0.7 volts for silicon and 0.3 volts for germanium and they do not vary a?lot as the current changes: they do vary,?just not too much.? When the current is zero thru a diode, the power dissipated?in the diode is zero but the voltage drop?is still present.

Re: Battery FNB-83 Different voltage readings
This is due to voltage drop across the internal diode.
When I charge my 60r to full, I took my vom and measured the voltages at the 3 gold colored contacts on the back of the FNB-83 battery, it is 7.49 I remover the battery and checked the voltage at the silver colored tabs that connect to the 60r and get a 8.6 voltage reading. 60r also read 8.6v.
Is there a reason for the voltage difference?

When battery is inserted in the 60r I get a 8.6 voltage reading in the display when I turn it on.

Re: Can't delete memories/ any suggestions
My FT60 notes suggest:
DELETE A SAVED MEMORY LOCATION: - V/M to MR mode, hold F (1 sec), dial to desired memory location, HM/RV to delete

Re: No TX between 146 and 148 mhz
144-146 TX
144-148 TX
Is yours a FT-60R or a FT-60E?

Re: No TX between 146 and 148 mhz
I thought I was alone in putting my radios mostly in storage for years! I¡¯ve had to re-learn FT-60R operation from scratch several times upon its typical once-a-year use.
Now that I¡¯m retired, my FT-60R and two batteries aren¡¯t. They get regular use and I¡¯ve been able to regain my ¡°muscle memory¡± for this model.
My FT-60R has never failed to perform, but I¡¯ve done many resets to factory condition, as an aid to my re-education. I deliberatley do not use programming software and cables. I like being skilled with the keys.
My recently-resurrected 1990-era dual-band mobiles from various makers survived years of disuse in boxes except for the IC-229h. I recently added a used IC-2100 to my shack, mostly for the fun of it. They all compelled me to learn or re-learn the different button sequences. --

No TX between 146 and 148 mhz
Hi all.?
Dug out my ft60 after a few years on storage.
Plugged into cig lighter and fired up. Battery dead, bought a new pack. Received inserted and fully charged it. Radio switched on and worked well, but NO transmit on any freq between 146 and 148. This is a VK version so it should.
Tried a full reset. No difference.
Any tips or tricks will be great acknowledged.
Cheers
Ralph

We who live near radio retailers are lucky.?Having goodies shipped to me is quick and convenient but is missing just a little bit of the magic.
I¡¯ve been able to ¡°go to¡± HRO in San Diego, Atlanta very easily and now¡ªless easily but still in range¡ªDelaware. I bought my FT-60R (and a spare battery ?) at New Castle. We have to pass New Castle twice on every trip to visit family in Rehoboth Beach.
Happy radio. Happy?Thanksgiving.

Subject: [Yaesu-FT-60] problem FT-60
I have not used my FT-60 for awhile. The battery was 6.8, I charged it. It now is 7.4
When I push the PTT the radio turns off and then turns back on. Has anyone had this happen? What is the fix to this problem? I used the RT System programming software with their cable USB-57A
Thanks in advance for any help.
