I think there is one.? If there is not, use an underscore or dash, slash, etc.

Re: ft60 keys stuck down
If I recall correctly, the Fw key is just one of the buttons on the rubber key pad between the case and a circuit board. ?

I had to replace a worn key pad in one of my FT60's some time back. ?It is quite simple to disassemble for access. ? Remove the battery, pop off the knobs up top along with the threaded nut securing the antenna SMA fitting, twist perpendicular the rubber cover for the speaker mic/power connector and a few small screws to remove from the back side of the radio. Google the procedure first to be sure, I may have forgotten a step or two..... MW How do I unstick the fw key that has stuck in the depressed state? |

I think by "better" I meant "more convenient." I may also have misremembered the battery link folks have posted here... Clint, you makes a convincing argument FOR NiMH batteries; but I'll check the mAH capacity of the Duracells in that stationery catalogue before I consider buying the Duracells. Maha batteries (and other brands!) may be great, but the shipping costs to Canada, and UPS's brokerage fees, can turn a good deal into, if not a nightmare, at the least a very disturbing dream. Thanks for the concise and informative answer, Clint. I shall have to consider buying the AA holder for my FT-60. 73, Neil VA5SCA Sent from my iPad using Morse Code.

Re: Aftermarket Batteries
>> ... I know the Lithium-ion batteries are supposed to be better for radios ...
They do retain their charge while un-used for a longer period of time. But "better" for radios? Not sure what you mean ... They certainly are rated at FEWER discharge-charge cycles than NiMH counterparts. >> ...? is there any reason (other than price) not to use Duracell or other name-brand NiMh batteries? If you compare the cost for each charge/discharge cycle, quality NiMH cells are actually a great bargain. You can darned near double the run time of the radio (from stock 1400mAH to NiMH 2500-2700mAH) with quality cells from Maha and others. >> ,,, Duracell ... Good quality. Go for it! Clint K6LCS

Aftermarket Batteries
Greetings all:
I know the Lithium-ion batteries are supposed to be better for radios, and some of you swear by a particular aftermarket AA cell; Enerloop, I think the name was. But is there any reason (other than price) not to use Duracell or other name-brand NiMh batteries? I ask because I've discovered that I can get a good deal from my employer's stationery supplier for Duracell batteries and charger. I probably won't buy them, since I don't have the AA holder yet. Thanks, Neil Slater Regina SK VA5SCA |

Re: no heatsink compound under final transistor on yaesu ft-60r
This is so much of a non-issue ... I mean, I have owned FT-60R HTs since the moment they were available in the United States. Never once has one shut down nor failed in any manner due to over-heating of any component.
Now then with that said, I have NOT keyed the mic on high power for a straight 60 minutes on any of my radios ... Clint K6LCS |

Re: duck
How about an antenna that costs less than one-half of the SRH-320A - but out-performs the Diamond on 2M?
The Smiley 270A. Benefits: It is only 7" tall when you just need "traditional" performance. But need increased performance? Whip it out to its full length. Beefy spring in the base to protect your HT's antenna connector, too. Going to change out antennas often? Then get a quality, properly fitting BNC-to-SMA adapter, and purchase BNC antennas. It is up to you: Wear out a $20 adapter over time, or wear out the HT's receptacle and face a $80 repair job. Link to Smiley - as well as to Guylas BNC-to-SMA adapters made expressly for the FT-60R - on the ANTENNAS page at:
