Jim, Thanks for clearing this up for me. 73, Rick KG7MQL

Today I tried to reach two repeaters that are 76 miles away with my rubber duckie. No surprises. Didn't work. However, I do reach 30 miles just fine. Rick KG7MQL Sent: Friday, June 20,

I guess I just found my next project. Thanks! Rick KG7MQL Sent: Friday, June 20, 2014 3:32 PM To: FT-60@... Subject: Re: [FT-60] after market antennas A friend

This one has me stumped. When in memory mode and briefly press BAND and the display shows "tun" in the upper left hand corner. The tuning knob changes the frequency. What is this mode? I can get

Rick, I'm not sure where you live, I used to live in the alma school and university area and I could hit the EAARS repeater on pinal with my ft-60. After that I moved to horne and southern and I

Line of sight is more important than distance. I can work a repeater near Moscow that is 75 miles from here with my FT- 60 and the rubber duck inside the house. I am on a ridge at 2800 feet and

That's really close, boy you'll hit that repeater solid, you found yourself a good one. !! I'm not sure about the yagi, I'm just a rookie like you, but a good Elmer friend of mine made a portable

Ron, The repeater is a mere 2.5 miles from my home up on a mountain. I can easily see it from my backyard. I have located two repeaters that are 76 miles away up on even higher mountains. I put

These SMA connectors ARE rated at fewer connects/disconnects than their BNC counterparts. That is why I recommend - IF you will be changing out antennas often - that you use a quality BNC-to-SMA

Outstanding Rick! About how far are you from that repeater? Ron

If you’re using your handheld ONLY as a handheld, there won’t be many times when you’d want to remove and replace the antenna. If, as I used to do, have your handheld as your ONLY radio, and use

Thanks Ron. I now see that the "sex" is determined by both the pin and threads. Rick

Dan, I agree that the SMA is mechanically weak. The little rubber duckie that came with the FT-60 is a reasonable mechanical load. I'm thinking of making a tape measure yagi for occasional use. The

Rick I may be confused on the male vs female SMA , but the model # SRH77CA is the right one. :-) Ron

Good deal Rick. Just remember antenna height and line of site to the repeaters are key. If the new antenna doesn't make it to the repeater you'll want an outdoor antenna, a jpole might be a good

Hi Rick, You want the SRH77CA, that's the one on my FT-60. It's the SMA male and will match your FT-60 perfectly. I got mine from HRO IN Phoenix. :-)

The SMA, while electrically a good connector, is a bit delicate for applications where you're frequently removing the antenna. I've heard of problems with the center pin coming loose. Many operators I

Looks like you discovered your error. At least it won't be hard to fix. 73, Nick, AA3T

?Our club made them as a program several years ago. When we first starting foxhunting we used them until members got fancer outfits. We didn't do any foxhunting on the ground last year and they don't

Different dual band HTs out there, but those three will cover virtually all of them. Yes, the SMA female is the direct replacement for the newer Yaesu HTs. However, to be able to pop the antenna on
