Agreed.

In fact, I just sold an FT-60R to someone, and RT Systems were happy to transfer my serial number for their software to the new user.

That is pure rubbish. Now, then, if you have a unauthorized copy, or a copy of the software that belongs to someone else, they might not help you. But RT Systems is most certainly supporting their software and the Yaesu FT-60.

FT-60 and Memory Bank Programming

 

Hello Everyone,
?
My FT-60 is proving to be a challenge to program the BANKS, #1 thru #10.
?
The problem? I don't know how to do it! I don't find the manual [pages 27-29] any help, either.
?
In "memory", I have both ham radio repeaters and VHF fire frequencies.
?
I want to move, or "cut and paste" those fire frequencies to BAND 1, leaving the ham repeater freq's where they are.
?
I do have the R.T. Systems programming software, but support for the radio is discontinued, so they can't help me.
?
I've ticked the boxes for "BANK 1" in the software, but after programming the radio, the fire freq's do NOT show up in "BANK 1".
?
Can anyone here help me to accomplish my goal?
?
Many thanks for taking the time to respond!

Re: Can I use the Yaesu SAD-25 power supply instead of the Yaesu SAD-24 power supply to charge my Yaesu FT-60R/E?

 

Yaesu changed the packaging of the FT-60R in early 2013 - to include the SBH-13 charge cup.
?
Reason is that it is NOT best to charge NiMH with a constant-rate, uncontrolled, never-turning-off
charger.

If you really are charging the battery via the external 12V jack, then you must have an FT-60E, not an FT-60R. Or possibly an older original FT-60. My guess, though, is you are powering the radio, but not really charging the battery.
?
I can only go by what my manual says. YMMV (unless you are on Dagobah, then VYMM).

Edited

I thought it was some regulation about devices shouldn't charge without a timer cutoff.? ?I thought there was that 3rd tab on the packs, which isn't on the alkaline pack, but either that doesn't disable the slow charge or something malfunctioned.? ?Wow, yeah, 100-200mA through alkalines is going to be a mess, one way or the other.
Mine is pretty new, USA model, and only charges in the cradle.? Or magnets, a resistor, and a bench power supply (haven't tried that, but in an emergency at work, away from the cradle... maybe).
I found California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 20, Section 1605.3(w), requiring maintenance mode charging to be under 1W.? 12V at even 100mA (it was probably 140 for 1400mAh?).? Perhaps instead of reducing the current to a 24h charge rate, they dropped it altogether.
Re: Can I use the Yaesu SAD-25 power supply instead of the Yaesu SAD-24 power supply to charge my Yaesu FT-60R/E?

 

We have older FT60R units and they do charge the standard battery pack when 12V is supplied to the external connector.? We had an experience that may explain why they disabled that feature.? We were using the official Yaesu AA battery holder while using the radio while it was powered via the external pack.? For whatever reason, the AA batteries made electrical?contact with the charging tabs and the radio thought it had a Yaesu rechargeable?pack installed.? The radio went into charging mode which caused the AA alkaline batteries to boil, literally, with the toxic fumes going into the radio ruining it.? We were not touching the radio as we were using it for packet work so we did not notice it getting hot until too late.

The SAD-25 is intended for the FT5DR radio. The SAD-24 is for the charge cradle SBH-13.

Hank,
The SBH-13 needs a 12V power input.

Used Price for FT-60R?

What is the current used price for an FT-60R in great shape, with two brand new batteries and the stock drop-in charger?

?

I don’t have the original box or the printed manual, but I do have the stock rubber duck.

Which cradle do you have? And is your radio an "R" or an "E?"?

Either are absolutely fine to use.
