I haven’t heard that the FT-60 has been discontinued. HRO still sells them and it’s still in their catalogue. It is still listed on the Yaesu website as a current model. KB6KGX

My wife bought me a FT-60 (before I was able to buy one, myself). I love it. As you said, it’s simple, has only the basics that I need and nothing that I don’t need. It’s built like a tank.

What are ELTs and SARs?

Thanks Chris.

Just because RadioWorld cannot get then does not mean they are discontinued. The FT-60R is the North American version. The European version, FT-60E. -- Clint Bradford K6LCS http//www.work-sat.com

I use my FT-60 to track down ELTs on 121.5. Even tho the 406 system has come into use, they still use 121.5 on low power for homing in. I am part of Silver Star SAR in Washington State, and we get

You can do ODD SPLITS with it. I use mine with my FT8800 mobile and can cross talk to the truck for cross band coms. Great radio. K3CLT Chuck Tobias

Hi Chris! It sounds to me like you've already made up your mind, and that's a good thing! Do you need another radio? Only you can answer that. Is the FT-60 a "must-buy" radio? Are any, really? I

thanks.

Oh, sorry, I thought it was no longer in production, replaced with the FT-65, FT-70 etc.

The Yaesu FT-60R is a GREAT value for anyone looking for a solid 2M/440 handheld. The FT-60R debuted at Dayton in 2004. It was a great bargain then - and remains so today. Among its features

Who said the FT-60r is “discontinued?” -- Clint Bradford K6LCS http//www.work-sat.com

Sorry for posting the same thing twice. I didn't see my post show up for several days, so thought it was lost. Apologies.

I have several HT's already, for various bands and modes. I don't really need another. But, people refer to the now-discontinued FT-60R in such glowing terms, I want to pick one up so I don't miss
