Re: headphone question, and Adapter suggestion

Does the FT-60 use the same speaker mic as the FT-50, VX-5, and VX-150?

Re: Addition of Screw Driver Antenna supasses published sensitivity specifications of unit across all bands; cellular blocked.
Extensive frequency coverage is no longer a problem with my unit. I have
adapted a newly developed screw driver like antenna to the sna connector. Integration between the screw driver and swr bridge metering circuit required a small modification to the firmware. I have contacted Yaesu and I am ready to transfer the patent to their corporation. In turn they have agreed to retrofit those units already in the field. New models will come with this as standard equipment. The drive mechanism is so fast that it keeps pace with the unit as it scans, even across band boundaries. More information will be available soon, as I am low on meds at this writing. 73 de KE2QR Fred Jacobowitz _._. _ _ ._ _.. . _._ . .._ _ _ _ _._ ._.

headphone question, and Adapter suggestion
is this a standard jack that I can plug any ol' set of headphone
into, or is it a special size that I need to buy one of their accessories for? Also, I haven't seen it posted here but on the RailScan list I was pointed to a Ham selling a much better SMA-BNC adapter than you find with the radio. The rubber housing should support it and make it much more sturdy than the thin metal ones they sell with the radio. Just thought I'd pass this along since many people here will be using an adapter :) |

Re: Question about Bank scanning

My 8800 has hyper memories, maybe it can do it too. (I openly admit to
not reading the entire manual yet, nearly a year after buying it). Not enough free time to read the whole manual. :-D Thanks for the info, I'm on an info quest now.

Let's see...there are over 1,000 FT-60R units in the hands of...clint kicked me off his groups for no reason because idiscovered a receive problem! end-users. There are three user reports of radios being sent out without receivers in them. That, in my humble opinion, does not qualify as a "receive problem" in my way of thinking. Clint Bradford |

Re: Question about Bank scanning
Ed Muro
Nick-
It might be a good idea! I have both the VX-150 and FT-60, yes the vX-150 is good on the rail-band but I never compared the two. Lately, we have had a discussion here about poor receiving performance of the FT-60 but I think the consensus here is that the stock dual-band antenna is the weak link. Same goes for my Kenwood TH-F6A, out of the box it stinks on 220 MHz, replace the stock antenna with a 220 band antenna and there is a marked improvement. If I get a chance over the next week I will see if I can do a side-by-side test with both the ft-60 and vx-150.

Re: Question about Bank scanning

A set of banks? Is this a new feature? I admit to not memorizing or nit
picking at the manual, but that would be a very handy feature to be able to scan multiple banks. Is the 60r the only radio that supports that feature?
