unable to change frequencies
|
A friend of mine who is out in Spain paragliding is unable to change the frequency on his FT60 he says the buttons and the knob have no affect, after I gave him a few tips I then told him to do a full factory reset which he says he did the frequency changed to the default but he still can't operate the keys or the knob to change frequencies, any ideas?

开云体育His radio is probably locked. Ask him if there is an icon of a lock on the screen. ?He can press and hold the 6 key to unlock. What is locked can be changed in the menu settings. ?He should look in his manual. Jardy Dawson WA7JRD Ham Radio On Aug 5, 2016, at 02:39, godly_mistle@... [FT-60] <FT-60@...> wrote:

开云体育If the "6" keys is pressed and held, that locks the controls on the radio. To unlock the controls, just hold "6" key down again.

Has he tried holding the #6 key which locks & unlocks the keypad &/or channel selector knob depending on how the lock menu item is set up. John N4SME On Friday, August 5, 2016 7:52 AM, "godly_mistle@... [FT-60]" wrote:

Press and hold the 6 key for 1 to 2 seconds to unlock.

clear the keypad/dial lock. In fact, can a reset even be done if the keypad is locked? I don't know. 73, Jim K5JG On 8/5/2016 7:12 AM, radioranger44 radioranger44@... [FT-60] wrote:

The original poster said his friend HAD DONE "A FULL FACTORY RESET." The radio WILL NOT be locked after a full reset. 73, Jim K5JG On 8/5/2016 10:56 AM, Rudi wa2nub@... [FT-60] wrote:

开云体育I experienced similar this AM on my FT-60 and noted that my speaker/mic was not “completely” plugged into the HT. ? Being partially inserted, but not completed apparently locked the keypad and knobs down from being able to do anything. ? I pushed the plug in and all is OK. ? Maybe similar to your friend’s situation if using a speaker/mic or a earbud, etc., etc.. ? ? 73, ??????????????? Nolan Kienitz? KI5IO ??????????????? SKCC - 9532C ??????????????? NAQCC - 6230 ??????????????? FISTS - 14948 ? ? |

开云体育He replied to the lock/un-lock via key #6 a number of posts prior.? No indication in the display it being locked and he had already tried that as an option.? Just peruse the posts and you should find the trouble-shooting he had done. ? 73, ??????????????? Nolan Kienitz? KI5IO ??????????????? SKCC - 9532C ??????????????? NAQCC - 6230 ???????????????

开云体育Hey godly_mistle "A friend of mine who is out in Spain paragliding" Has your friend landed? I do not advise repairing a radio in flight ? It sounds to me that maybe the keypad has gone bad? Do any of the keys function?? Can he use some instrument like a pencil to make sure the keys are being pressed and that they are making contact to the internal assembly? What was he/she doing before/after this happened? It states that a factory reset did not clear the issue, but how about removing the battery and any power source for a while and see if any short clears it self. I don't know what is really happening its a bizarre behavior to say the least, but maybe some capacitor is overloaded and malfunctioning?! Ask and come back to us with theses answers. Oh and is this altitude related or is it happening on the ground to? 73 WN6WJN |

开云体育Hello godly_mistle Has your friend reported any progress on this issue We "I" are sitting on pins and needles to see what the culprit was. Please don't keep us hanging. And I hope your friend enjoyed the trip to Spain, here in San Francisco, we have a huge community of paraglider, because we are open to winds from the ocean. 73, and please report back any news, positive or negative. We are all hear to learn, and this one stumped most of us so it is a good example to learn from. WN6WJN |
