I wonder if someone could enlighten me of the differences between the 2 models above?

Your attention is a appreciated.

There is no "FT-60."

The FT-60R is a model meant for US distribution.

?FT-60E (now discontinued) was for the European market.

Clint,
Thank you for your response.

However, I just bought what I thought was an FT-60R from HRO and received an FT-60 (no R) on it, or the factory box.

It was advertised as an "R" but I didn't receive an "R" model. I was trying to resolve why, or if it meant anything, (maybe old stock?).

If purchased from HRO new, yours is, indeed, an FT-60R.

Are we discussing the front panel marking versus the printing on the carton? My panel reads only "FT-60" and the radio behaves like the R that I expected. I suppose Yaesu didn't want to produce and inventory two different front panels merely to distinguish the R model from the E.

Band Plan differences between Europe and the US are the differences in the HT versions. And the "E:" version was discontinued a few years ago.
