Re: Antenna connection adapters-kit
Are the ones you have at all wobbly? I was watching a Ham Radio Crash Course video on You Tube yesterday about connectors and Josh was showing how some are much looser i.e., wobbly than

But that all-metal Yaesu CN-3 adapter should be outlawed ... All metal-to-metal contact with your HT's

Re: So I am hopelessly lost on this FT-60R
Alvin,
If you reach it from San Martin, N6NFI near the Dish at Stanford has the "9
AM Talk Net" every weekday, open to all hams (no club membership
required nor expected). 145.230, 100 Hz PL.

Re: Antenna connection adapters-kit
The black adapters--Diamond and the cheaper ones--all have marginal fit. Even with a dab of dielectric grease they can be a struggle to remove. The stainless work much better, even if they don't look

Re: Newcomer
Slap the FBA-23 on the VX-6R, and you have - what? - 300mW TX power for a few minutes
Use the FBA-25 on the Ft-60R and you have FULL TX POWER for a few hours.
Sure, the VX-6R is cool. Love mine,

So I’ll have to agree/disagree. I do like my ft60 but I like what my VX6R has to offer a bit more.

The Yaesu FT-60R remans the absolute BEST feature set of ANY dual-band FM ham HT.

Re: Antenna connection adapters-kit
Great idea. Quality SMA connectors are rated at about 500 connects/disconnects. Protect it with a quality
Diamond BNC-to-SMA adapter, and "wear it out" instead of wearing out the HT's

Re: Antenna connection adapters-kit
Quality connectors and loss? Maybe 1/3 of one db. Negligible.

Re: Antenna connection adapters-kit
I also standardize on BNC for my HHs.? As I use them foot-mobile as well as on better antennas in vehicles or even as p25 monitors in the house, the BNC is a good quick 50 ohm connector.Dave J.?

Re: Antenna connection adapters-kit
Hi Al.
I agree with standardizing on BNC. All of my HTs have the adapters on
them. I use an HT for my mobile radio, so the BNC allows me to easily move
to pedestrian mode. I spend very little time

Every connector adds loss.

Re: Newcomer
A 2023 model like I just got is not any different form the 2004 model as far as I can tell, but I've only had my HT since 5/16/22023.

Re: confused about display
New to the group and I am cruising the messages. I saw this and thought I'd stop in to see if the topic question was answered. I just found how to use the Band function myself.

Re: Battery FNB-83 in Desktop Charger SBH-13
I found that the SBH13 will not work with a 12V supply that is less than 1A. Is yours the original Yaesu plug pack? SAD-16H.

Re: Battery FNB-83 in Desktop Charger SBH-13
SBH13 will not charge when the battery voltage is too low. I have got to such situation once. If you are 100% the battery you can connect the battery to a lab power supply with suitably set current

Re: Battery FNB-83 in Desktop Charger SBH-13
No, not normal at all. Was the battery hot? They don't charge when over a certain temp. Or it could just be a bad battery; It does happen. Either way a blinking red light on a charger generally means
