Ed Fong has designed a dual band roll up jpole and written an article about the design and performance. One big feature is the additional tweaks to the basic design that make the 440 pattern much

(I was looking for something I could roll up.) Hey Rick, Sounds like you have a lot of support there in the Valley. Peoria and Goodyear native, myself. Moved out here a year ago so my wife

Roger that, with good line of site she works really well!!

My guess is that even in the best of conditions, 76 miles will be tough with just 5 watts, even with a better antenna. You may hit it, but I think it'll be pretty scratchy at that point. Ron.

Sorry about that. Yes, I will curb my enthusiasm. 73, Rick Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2014 5:13 PM To: FT-60@... Subject: Re: [FT-60] Memory Bank Recall Function

Assigning memories to a bank is just like the manual describes but after you let off the FW key, it takes a moment for the display to respond. Kinda strange but it works.

Might I suggest you try not to absorb everything in one day. By the end of today you will have a fuzzy mind. You have sent 25 emails with 25 questions so far. Did you ever think you could ask 2

Paul, Ah, now I see it in the book. I guess I’m just suffering from information overload here. Thanks, Rick Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2014 2:12 PM To: FT-60@... Subject:

Don, My manual also shows Memory Bank Scan on page 39 but the figures do not show the “b”. Not sure if you are saying that your copy of the manual shows the “b”. However, it is certainly

Don, The reason I wanted to start at NO BANK is because if I am in any other bank, I am limited to the memory locations stored in that bank. What am I missing

Thanks Ron. If the twin lead J I plan to make doesn’t get me to those repeaters 76 miles away, I’ll be looking for an alternate design. Rick KG7MQL Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2014 11:01

Rick, ‘some people’ (who ever they are) are right. The twin lead J-pole antenna is good, as compared to the rubber duck antenna of any HT. All the ARES groups here in Colorado are advised to

The display will show "Low" if the power is set to Medium or Low setting. That is normal. 73, Paul. KJ6LDG FT-60@...> wrote:

Press and release the F/W key, then press and release the 3(TX PO) key. The display should show the current power level. You change it by rotating the channel select knob. Exit power setting

I made this aluminum J-pole a few years ago and found it much more reliable (and professional looking) than a twin-lead J-pole. http://www.fwarc.org/Ant%20articles/J%20Pole%20Antenna.htm You can buy

Rick, the radiator on my ground plane antenna is made of Piano wire and the four radials are made from standard coat hangers. The Elmer friend that made it for me tuned it perfectly with his antenna
