Hi.

Anyone know how to switch to AM when punching in frequencies on the aircraft band? I hoped the radio could be smart enough to switch on the fly, when you enter a frequency between 108-136, but mine stays in FM.

Thanks

Chris

Check your menu item #40 - "RX-MOD" should be AUTO so it can figure it out from frequency.

It will default to AM when you enter anything in the 108-136 range.?

Press the 'Fw' button

Then press the '0' button

You will now be in the set menu.?

Rotate the top right knob to display item number '40'

Again press the 'Fw" button but do it quickly

Now you can rotate to top right knob to select: Auto - FM - AM

Select the mode you want and then press the transmit button momentarily .

Voila you are in the new mode.

Here is a link to a manual for the radio.

Also if you get it into an unknown mode you can always perform a factory reset?

which will put everything in a known sate that works.

If you're not sure of the settings, best to do a factory reset. From page 64...

1. Turn radio off?

2. While holding down MONI turn radio on.

3. Rotate the dial to get to the function you want. I suggest F4 ALLRST

4. Press F/W

Just like new!

Have fun with this great little radio!

There might be something wrong with your device as all I do is punch in the frequency and there it is in AM with no transmit allowed. Maybe there's an initial set-up but I don't recall doing it if there was.

Will I lose my saved frequencies if I do a factory reset?

Yes. Factory Reset will make your radio the same as it was when you first took it out of the box.

I have had an FT-60 for many years and never needed to do a reset, but, expect
them to be gone.? The rig after reset should be just like it came from the factory
and they knew nothing about your preferences, operating habits or saved frequencies.

I believe there are 2 resets available. I does everything, the other only the menu settings that leave your frequencies and channel info intact.?

Before doing either reset, read the radio and save the info in a file. That can be used later to restore things if you need to.?
