CHINESE JUNK

Is it possible to enter from the keyboard or store a frequency with 5 decimal places such as 440.12345 ? Thanks

When is the full review of the ICom IC -IT 10 ?

Fingering their Cat . . .

This is my favorite radio out of all the baofeng radios that I own. They got this one right for sure.

Hello, I'd like to know, is there a video on TH-cam about this radio, that would help me work it? A fellow ham aquaintance og mine, gifted and me this Quansheng UV-K5 bcuz I have been studying for my ham license,, but as I opened the box, assembled the radio, turn it on but it's silent. I don't know how to work or setup this radio. Could you help? Thx.

When are you guys going to have the 11-99 bag back in stock?

Awesome job as usual Scott thank you. Really enjoy the operators series. I had the same problem with the microphone placement in the FT-3 and FT-5. Sold both radios. My finger would cover the microphone when I gripped it. Poor location of the microphone in my opinion.

Scott, you are the Ham Man!! I always go back to your vids for reference. I think it’s time for you to do nation wide tour. Promote the Hobby and introduce it to new folks I’ll drive the camper! 😂😂 Picture it, full of Radios, antennas sticking out all over the roof. HamMan Tour painted on the side. As long as there is Scotch and Cigars in there, we’re good!!

Pleased to see this series, I picked one of these radios up a couple of years ago

Thanks, Scott. Love your operator's series. Always something new to learn about my radios.

when you said splits, is that when there is both up link and down link tones? im trying to program my radio with a repeater that has that

awesome things is amazing as im trying to learn more about my radio

Thank you..learning lots more about a radio I’ve probably had for 15 years!! Ray WA9MID 16:42

Just got my self a FT4xe and your videos are amazing for me to get into this HT. One thing I found is that the FT4X has FM but only on [B]

thank you perfect now to program my radio lol for my cert channels

can I ask where are you getting the repeater numbers from?

So glad you are doing this. Haven’t messed with my FT60 in years. Plan on reintroducing myself to it with your videos. Thanks 👍

Perfect. Please keep this series going!

I got the 21R Pro GPS! and a plain ole UV--22, since this 21r Pro GPS is a Tri band, and the 22 is a dual band, both with 1.77" color screens since my father is getting up in age! and hes the one Im going to be playing with these thing with! WOW, wierd to say as I just turned 49! LOL but I got GPS version for him while hes out Moose Hunting in Alaska!

are you able to disable the PTT? I connected it to Chirp but was unable to find it. Thank you

The yaesu is only about a year older than TH-cam.

I believe the DC charging stoped in 2012. This was due to new regulations on internal battery charger efficiency for non-lithium battery products, with CA pushing this through. In order for Yaesu to install a charger back into the FT-60, they would have change the battery to lithium and get it recertified by the FCC. None of which they want to spend money doing. That is how I have understood it, after performing lots of research. The European models still retain the charging feature.

The FT-60 is such a great radio, that after a few weeks of use, I bought a second one !!!!!😮

Hi. I have this radio but was used and pre programmed. Is there a way to factory reset it to program what i need?

This radio was a return 💩

Thank you for starting this series! I picked up a used FT-60R at a HAM convention for a great price, and have used it for some transmitter hunts. Looking forward to more field use.

I agree with everything you said about this radio. Your journey through the Baofeng was similar to mine. But, when I finally bought my first FT-60, I realized that I WILL NEVER SELL IT. It is a classic, durable, excellent sounding radio. I loved mine so much that I bought one for my wife!

Just seeing this vid. Wow. As a newbie I’ve really appreciated your approach in your videos. Now, my respect for you has popped up even higher. Thanks for your insight, and more importantly thanks for your integrity.

A Gentlemans radio. Just like a small pocket knife reliable, ready to go.

Following!

Great stuff, Scott, and I thoroughly concur with your thoughts on the importance of performance! I think I realised that the Baofeng I bought on my return to amateur radio after a long time out, when a station 25 miles away I was working on 2 meters was giving me a 59 signal report, while I was struggling to hear him. I then bought an FT-65, which received a lot better, and later an FT-70, better still, but then I happened upon an FT-60 at an SK sale. I'd heard that these were sought after (bear in mind they were discontinued in the UK several years ago) by SOTA operators due the their excellent receiver performance, and comparison tests with my other HTs bears this out. Once all the stuff I need to do following our recent house move is out of the way, I'll dig the FT-60 out and go activate some of the nearby summits...can't wait! 73 and thanks, Simon G0CIQ.

My new toy arrives tomorrow, so I watched your series on the TD-H3. Now I'm ready. Thanks so much!

I have been waiting for this series for 3 years from you!! Thanks so much!!! Well done, Scott!

Thank God! Love me some Yaesu!!

So glad you’re doing this; I just bought an FT-60 at Huntsville.

I like my FT-60, great radio. Simple radio. de N9TDE

I have 2 of these, one that is 18 years old and one that was recently purchased, I love love love this radio!!! Thanks you for this operator series, thanks you, thank you😮

A truly great radio, even all these years later. In some ways, better than the VX6.

thanks 👍🙏

thanks 🙏

This whole series is AWESOME. Thanks very much for creating this series. I just got a set of these and found your channel.

I love mine had for over 6 mos no problem with mine i can hear police from 20 miles and more away lots of haters out there look at jmtech review.

I appreciate the effort you put into your videos. Thanks much. 73

thank you 🙏

Signal stuff sells 3D printed rings specifically for the FT-60 gap - wouldn’t say it’s the best of the best quality (nothing like rubber or silicone) but at least visually, it takes care of that exposed part between the third party antenna and the base

I'm new to radio but trying to learn, so pls excuse me if this is a dumb question. Can this be used to test antennas? For example, I have a Diamond RH77A antenna and I want to know what frequencies work the best on it, can I use something like this to find out?

jUST SO YOU KNOW SOMETIME AGO THERE WAS 2 VERSIONS ON THE RADIO A UHF AND POC TO USE THE POC YOU HAVE HAVE 2 OR 3 RADIOS WITH A SIM FROM GLOBAL PTT SO WILL NOT WORK BY ITS SELF THAT WHY NO PROGRAMMING CABLE CANT PROGRAM POC RADIO SO TOTALY USELESS UNLESS YOU BUY 3 SIMS FROM GLOBAL PTT

ITS POC PTT NOT UHF RADIO WORKS ON SIMS NOT PROGRAMMING
