Cat 5 and straight through connections
2
I posted a while back that I had success with cat 5 coupler and also straight through cable on Kenwood gear. Today I tested this on the FTM-6000R and yes, it is the same so to speak as Kenwood. A plain cat five coupler and I modified a cat five cable by eliminating the 4th pair, doing this give you enough insulation to install the rj6 plug, STRAIGHT THROUGH. Obviously, you can now make this pretty much whatever length you wish. Tested and working fine, so you can cut that cost to almost nothing if you are bit handy.

Has Anyone tried BLUETOOTH with a headset?
4
Hi I purchased the optional BlueTooth module for my FTM-6000R. Just watched a YouTube review of the Yaesu BT headset SSM-BT10 that was quite disappointing. Has anyone found something that works with the rig, at least for listening? And maybe for transmitting? -- Glen, WB4KTF, Austin, TX

Microphone Extension cable type?

#interface
Hi I have a new FTM-6000R and want to mount the Control Head and rig body remote from one another. As it only came with the Control Head cable I must either purchase the Yaesu MEK-5 or a RJ12 6wire cable. The Yaesu cable costs around $25-$30, while these 2 below are $5-$7 depending on the wiring. Is the RJ12 wiring Straight thru or Reversed wiring?

9600 baud data cable on the cheap
11
#Tweeks
Howdy: I haven't put this alternate data cable into service just yet, but I think it should work for my intended uses (audio In/Out/PTT). I paid $6.35 for the cable on the Walmart online store, but the cable is available all over the place. I did VOM the leads, as shown below, and it looks like the 1200 baud pinout (#5 on the FTM-6000R) is missing, so I guess we'll just have to go for the gusto and make it 9600 baud instead. Works for me. Doug NS4ZM

FTM-6K First Impressions

#software
I purchased my FTM-6000R yesterday from Ham Radio Outlet (HRO) in Salem, NH yesterday. After a seeminly long ride home after a sunny day of shopping, I got to open the box up and check out the new radio. Before I had even fired it up, I took a screwdriver to the control head, and installed the BU-4 BlueTooth unit. The installation was very straightforward, the small circuit board plugs into a small 4mm connector, then the back of the control head is screwed back on. I was quite surprised by the older t-style spade connector, and the 2-meter long power cable was another surprise. But connecting the radio up in the shack only required me to put a 12V Anderson style connector on a cable and plugging everything in. In a reversal to many of my other Yaesu radios, the control head is connected by an 8-pin modular cable, and the mic is a 6-pin. A longer control head cable is included, but I needed to purchase the MEK-5 mic extension kit. It turns out I diddn't need to purchase the mic extension, as I found an older no-longer-used 6-pin cable in a box filled with older unused Yaesu radio parts & cables. I plan on installing this radio in my Toyots 4Runner, to replace an older Yaesu FT-857D HF/VHF/UHF radio that needs an alignment, and I will need the longer extension cables. Once I had the radio connected in the shack, I connected the SC-20 USB cable (another extra purchase...) and fired up the free ADMS programming software on my laptop. I prefer the FREE Yaesu software over the RT Systems app and cable, I am hoping that CHIRP will support this radio soon, and if so, the RT systems cable will probably not work, and in that case the Yaesu SC-20 probably will. It has been my past experience that CHIRP does not work with RT Systems stuff, and although I have several RT Systems software offerings, I choose to no longer support their proprietary offerrings. My Win10 Pro system detected the proper drivers for the cable, and it was fairly easy to communicate with the radio once I selected the proper COM port in the software settings. You have to follow the proper sequence of selecting options and clicking buttons to get the program in and out of the radio, but the software functions are rather straightforward and easy to follow. The programming software is free on the Yaesu.com website, and if files are allowed here on the 开云体育 group I could include then here as well. The 2 main documents you need from that site are the Operating Manual (which is included with the radio for your country) and the ADMS software manual. I entered my list of frequencies into the software and programmed them into the radio. It will hold 999 memory frequencies, which it turns out, is far more than I need at the moment. I was easily able to split them up according to band and service, leaving room to add more as needed. I will still need to review the procedure to add memory channels and set the appropriate access tones by hand, as I may not have access to the radio to easily program by computer once the radio is installed out in the truck. All that is left now is to review the programming, and find a suitable mounting spot for the control head in the 4Runner. This control head is considerably smaller then the one for the 857D, (about half the size) but the alpha channel lettering is twice the size, so it may be suitable to mount it farther away. I will detail the mobile installation in another post, as to not clump everything into one long post. I am sorry for the long rambling paragraphs, I hope it was easy to follow, and I can answer any questions anyone might want to ask. Again I thank everyone for accepting me into tis group, and I hope I can continue to contribute in the future. Micky K1XH

Cheat sheets
2
Anyone have a cheat sheet, would be nice. been programing manually as the cost of software and shipping is over $55.00 which in my humble opinion is nuts. hopefully chirp will pick up this radio as usb cables can easily be adapted to the eight pin data port. info for this is on the web.

FTM-6000R
We are pleased to introduce the new FTM-6000R – 50W VHF/UHF Dual Band FM Mobile Transceiver. The new FTM-6000R is a basic feature packed mobile transceiver employing a new User Operating Interface - E2O-III (Easy to Operate – III). The FTM-6000R delivers reliable and stable 50W transmit performance. - The heavy-duty heat sink is equipped with FACC (Funnel Air-Convection Conductor). - The speaker delivers 3W of clear and crisp receive audio which has been specifically tuned for radio communication. - The front panel of the FTM-6000R is detachable and can be mounted at the most desirable operating position. - The new FTM-6000R supports optional Bluetooth? wireless operation using the SSM-BT10* Headset or a commercially available Bluetooth? headset*. - E2O-III provides three (3) user-intuitive operating modes to assign functions and settings: (1) The most frequently used function can be registered to the “F1” key and then recalled with a single touch of the “F1” key. (2) Other frequently used functions can be assigned to a Function List and then recalled by simply pressing the “F Menu” key and rotating the dial. (3) All functions and items other than those registered to “Most frequently” or “Other frequently’, are selectable by pressing and holding the “F Menu” key and rotating the dial Up to 5 channels can be registered in PMG (Primary Memory Group). Frequently used PMG frequencies can be shown in an easy-to- distinguish display just by pressing the “PMG” key. - The MAG (Memory Auto Grouping) function automatically groups memory channels so they may be easily recalled by band: All memory channels; AIR band (108MHz – 137MHz); VHF band (137MHz – 174MHz); UHF band (400MHz –480MHz); and other bands (174MHz - 400MHz / 480MHz – 999.995MHz). - The new FTM-6000R VFO Band Skip Function permits unused bands to be skipped, while the registered memory channels can be recalled; even if the frequency is in the skipped band. - By pressing “SQL BACK” key when the memory channel is displayed, the contents of the currently selected memory channel can be transferred into the VFO register. Depending on the operating situation, either the VFO or Memory channel operations are separately useable. - Some of the other features of the FTM-6000R are: Wide-range receive coverage from 108MHz to 999.995MHz; 1100 Memory channels with alphanumeric tags; supplied DTMF microphone - SSM-85D; Scanning Functions – VFO Scan, Memory Scan, PMG Scan, Programmable Memory Scan.
