Unwanted DTMF on PTT


 

My FT-60 is now transmitting a short DTMF tone when I key the PTT button. I can't for the life of me find any reference to anything like this in?the User Guide, searching "Tone" or "DTMF" or "Beep."? Not sure what made this happen, but I'd like it go go away, would appreciate an assist!
Thanks.

You’ve turned on Wires… predecessor to Wires-X.

?

Just hit the 0 key on the keypad and that will turn it off.

That would be the infamous WIRES function. Read the manual to see how to turn that off. It’s easy, but I don’t have a radio in front of me to check which key to press. I think it’s Function and 0 key. Look for the Atom symbol on the keyboard.?

It's the "atom" symbol, upper right, crossed zeros.

You probably have the WIRES feature enabled. Look for an “atom” looking symbol in the upper right of the screen (if I recall correctly).

Press and hold 0 (zero) to toggle it on and off. It’s not needed, even when accesssing some WIRES-X repeaters.


 

Thanks All. I thought it might be that but didn't want to drill down too much more. Sometimes a mistaken button push gets unintended results, and there's no "Undo" or "Back" function(that I'm aware of).?
Next step would have been to simply restore from recent CHIRP image.
Still discovering things with this radio.

There is a way to 'permanently' get rid of wirex. I did this for my ft60.
Google it. It can be undone if needed.
Also similar steps for the mobile radios.

I love that the FT-60 is so easy to program that I usually don’t have to mess about on the computer.

This is one that bugs most everyone, mysteriously, until we're finally driven to reach out!

What a relief that in this case there *is* a "Back button".
