Darren, The seems to have worked. Indicator lamp is illuminated, also. Thanks for the help. Tip N9MVX

From prior discussions on here, there are three levels of eneloops. If I recall correctly, the Pro level are too large to fit cleanly in the adapter. The other two should work OK. Very slight

As an FT-60R owner of less than a month, I'm interested in the discussion, especially the battery topic. When I saw that my tired old Alinco and its NiCd batteries would not carry me through a

The clips on my two FT-60s can be closed when using those batteries, but with a great deal of difficulty. However, I have to use a coin or the tip of a large flat blade screwdriver to get it open.

I have 2 trays with Enloop batteries. The clip will not close with the Enloop batteries in them. Am I the only one with that problem? +++++ Jerry, NV7GS +++++ Live simple, love well, and take time

Yes. My post should have made clearer the relationship between Yaesu and Vertex prior to their acquisition by Moto.. 73, Jim K5JG

Jim, My apologies … your post did detail the history and the prior relationship with Yaesu and Vertex. It is of a historical nature, but so many elements are shared (as you noted)

Sorry Jim – K5JG … they used to be affiliated in the past. Check some history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaesu_(brand) 73, Nolan Kienitz KI5IO

Actually, many of us are using NiMH batteries we have bought in AA cell size, the Eneloop brand from Panasonic (who, apparently, bought the brand from Sanyo). You would also need the FT-60 battery

That's quite impressive!

When I sold my broken FT-60 to a ham for parts, the 8 year old battery pack was still usable. At least half life still in it. -- KQ?J

No, Vertex is not part of Yaesu. Motorola owned Yaesu (which included Vertex and Standard Horizon) for several years. However, at the beginning of 2012 they spun off Yaesu (amateur & air band

There are grooves on each side of the battery at the bottom that slide onto the charger.

Hello all and many thanks for the replies to date. I'm hoping to borrow a VX-3E from a work colleague this evening to test against the UV-5R. Thanks for pointing out about band differences

I think I may have a problem with the charging cradle for the HT. I placed my FT-60 into the charger cradle to bring it back up to full charge. The yellow/green/orange light will not come on during

I have two FT-60Rs and use them for satellites and local repeaters. Never had any problems with them in the four years I've had them. Sid W7JSD

Good point on the receiver - actually I have compared my FT-60R with my Yaesu FT-2900 mobile rig and the FT-60r is less susceptible to intermod and less impacted by strong local signals than the

Thank you for sharing! I did it and shared via Twitter. [FT-60] <FT-60@...> wrote: -- Mary S. Fasang mary@... 562.537.5150

FT-60 is ECONOMICAL considering its excellent quality. Xmit power 5 watts, sensitive receiver and all around good HT. About 50 times better than the HT you've been using. They are tough radios

Hello fellow Hams! The ARRL is looking for your help in helping to get the Amateur Radio Parity Act passed. Time is of the essence. I know we are all distracted this time of year, and there is a
