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. Does

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?

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. If the tip of the 4-conductor, 3.5mm plug is not

If you take a knife and trim around the plug it will seat better and cure the problem. ?K3CLT Chuck Tobias To: FT-60@... Sent: Wednesday, November 1, 2017 10:41 PM Subject: Re:

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 ring that snaps onto the cord and slips over the squelch knob. The idea is to keep the plug from working loose from the
