Re: External Mic/SP that doesn't popout or create an open carrier
Have you tried trimming the plastic collar back a bit. As I have had to do
that on lots of the aftermarket Mic's.. It allow the plugin to seat
correctly into jack on radio.

External Mic/SP that doesn't popout or create an open carrier
I bought a cheap 12 dollar secret service earpiece on Amazon which caused the FT60R to key unless I applied pressure to the cable to make sure it was fully inserted into the mic/sp jack.

Re: FT-60R as a scanner?
Sure it¡¯ll be slow compared to a ¡°real¡± scanner. But if it¡¯s only a few channels and speed is not an issue, it¡¯ll do the job.

Re: FT-60R as a scanner?
It will work, but the FT-60R will be a slpw scanner. Try it, costs nothing
to do so. If the scan soeed is an issue you c an always buy a dedicated
scanner.

Re: FT-60R as a scanner?
It makes a very good scanner for a moderate number (say 100 or so) of memory channels -- it's what I use mine for. I have the fancy (complicated) Unidens and undoubtedly their scanning and search

Re: FT-60R as a scanner?
Any ham radio that scans, whether FT-60 or Baofengs, in my opinion, are very poor scanners. With newer Public Safety communications, a lot of them are digital and trunking systems. Ham radios do not

Re: FT-60R as a scanner?
I often use mine but limit the scan to a lower and upper limit i.e. search
a small piece of the band if I am looking for something there. Then another
important setting is step size as the frequencies

Re: FT-60R as a scanner?
It certainly DOES make a decent scanner. I use mine for that purpose, as well. Spec-wise, it works BETTER than a normal handheld scanner, provided that you don¡¯t need to monitor anything that is

FT-60R as a scanner?
the other day, I was at a swap meet in SoCal and was about ready to plop $60 down on a scanner when it occurred to me that I already had a pretty decent scanner in my FT-60R. So I thought I'd ping the

Re: FT 60 MICROPHONE
Here's a consideration: I have NEVER had a Yaesu MH-34 speaker-mic "partially disengage" and cause problems like some aftermarket units have.

Re: FT 60 MICROPHONE
If you take a knife and trim around the plug it will seat better and cure the problem.

Re: FT 60 MICROPHONE
An old trick (which I probably learned here years ago) is to plug the
speaker/mic into the radio and then loop the cord through the belt clip and
away from the radio on the opposite side. It works

The Yaesu microphone includes a fun little accessory. It¡¯s a little plastic
