bug


Bill Pirtle
 

Hi all.
I tried to post the following bug report with Clint's group, but he
would not allow it.

I found a bug in the radio's operating system software that Yaseu will
want to fix (hopefully).

It is easy to duplicate, and the error handling is not providing for
this, and doing it causes the radio to shut down. Simply set all of
the channels in one of the memory banks to skip, and then press either
the up or down MHz keys to initiate scanning of that bank, and the
unit will shut down.

Yes I know that the question is going to be asked "Why would you want
to scan, when you have set all of the channels to skip?"... well it
happened by accident, and the error should be trapped. The user should
not be left wondering why the unit powered off.

You can duplicate this in any of the memory banks or in the "No
Bank" memory mode. The solution would be to display a message to the
user, or just beep.

I really like my radio, and I'm not complaining, just passing this
along for our collective knowledge, and maybe... just maybe it can be
corrected for future releases.
My unit's serial number 4K 05 0655

BTW I have a VX2R and when I try to duplicate the error on it, a
message is displayed "MS Error"

No, I don't think so. You can not discuss business dealings on your ham radio (say if your stock broker was a ham, you could not "make a trade" over the air) or use HAM RADIO for business purposes. Such as, using your base station to dispatch taxi's or stuff of that nature.

The office of Amateur Enforcement has nothing to do with transactions or promotions on the Internet. A good majority of the people selling stuff to hams are hams, you don't see them getting hauled off. If that were the case, and it is not, old Gordo West would be behind bars somewhere. I think you are a bit off base and at this point, this discussion is off topic...bring it back to the FT-60.

I would send this report directly to Yaesu if I were you.

And this is what you could not post on the other reflector?

Hello,
?
Yes Yaesu is aware of this problem and refuses to admit it. There are way to many early FT-60's out there with the same receive problem! Not just my radio!
?
There report to me was that there is no problem with the receive!
I do have to admit their engineer did take the time to listen to my receive problems!

Ed,
I sent it to Yaesu Tech Support this morning per your suggestion
(thank you Ed), and to answer your question, Yes, this is what Clint
would not allow to be posted.

It did not occur to me to try and send it to Yaesu tech support, I
just assumed that Yaesu was too large a manufacure of Ham gear to
accept bug reports from the field. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER, I
really like their radios, and maybe the reason they make such good
radios is that they listen to their customers.

Sorry. I passed the message on to Yaesu engineering and to Chip -
which I thought was a responsible thing to do. Sorry I didn't inform
you of that fact.

...clint kicked me off his groups for no reason because i
discovered a receive problem!
Let's see...there are over 1,000 FT-60R units in the hands of
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.
