Yaesu: - Yaesu FT-60r Receive | RadioReference.com Forums
Jul 2, 2022. #1. I have a Yaesu FT-60r which was purchased new ~10 years ago and its receive performance has never been as good as several other HT's I own or have sampled, despite using the exact same antenna (Signal Stuff 18" dual band) and holding each radio side by side and while moving around. I've compared my FT-60r in this fashion to the ...
yaesu ft-60r or yaesu vx-6r | RadioReference.com Forums
2008年3月20日 · The VX-6 may be a bit more than what you need! The FT-60 is a work horse and is built solid and tough. Nothing against the VX-6,mind you, I just think the Ft-60 is simpler to operate. The best thing,which I recently discovered, is the availability of a 7.2 Volt 2500 Ma battery. Thats more than some commercial batteries.
Best All Around HT? | RadioReference.com Forums

Antenna choices for Yaesu FT-60R - RadioReference.com Forums
2022年2月24日 · 1.) Just keep using the stock antenna that came with the FT-60R because I have read some are either happy with it's performance or felt there was not a big difference when they tried a different antenna. 2.) the "Signal Stick" antenna, I have read good reviews on that, but negative reviews also, some said the Diamond antenna was much better.
Yaesu: Yaesu FT-60R NI-MH Battery Charging Options
2024年4月23日 · From the man himself; The NC-88B wall charger will not work with FT-60R radios manufactured after 2012. Yaesu removed the hardware inside the radio that allowed it to charge that way.

Yaesu: Yaesu FT-60R Replacement Battery NI-MH vs Li-ION upgrade
Mar 14, 2024. #1. New Ham here with an FT-60R. The OEM battery is a NI-MH 1400 mAh battery and I just have the one. I want a spare. The OEM battery is still available for sale, but there are also Li-ION batteries that are 2200mAh for the same price or less. If I go that route, I would have to buy a Li-ION charging cradle as well.
Yaesu: - FT-60R DC power | RadioReference.com Forums
Aug 16, 2018. #1. Hi, I have a US model Yaseu FT-60R that must be charged in the cradle. The cradle is model SBH-13, with an AC adapter model PA-48B. The PA-48B DC output plug fits the radio directly, and the radio shows 11.7V when plugged into it (close to the nominal 12V output of the PA-48 AC adapter). The manual however on page 9 states ...
Yaesu: - new Yaesu FT-60R still made in Japan?
2018年9月6日 · It was made in Japan. Don't confuse the battery "made in China" label with the radio label under the battery. Even if it is made in China, it is made to Yaesu specs, nor CCR specs. I'm sure you will enjoy it for many years to come. My old Yaesu FT250's are still running just as well as when new, over 10 years ago.
Yaesu: - Newbie looking at FT-60R vs FT-70DR
2020年12月1日 · That said, the FT-60 is a 16-17 year old design that has been well proven and is still a fine radio. It has extended range receive up to 999.9MHz. The FT-70 only goes to 580MHZ. The FT-70 has much better memory management using banks to organize and scan selected memories. You cannot link banks as with the FT2 ad FT3.
Yaesu FT-60R and the military airband - RadioReference.com Forums
2014年10月10日 · 3,041. Location. Michigan. Oct 10, 2014. #3. FT-60R. I have been in ham radio many years before the Chinese radios came along. Air band aside, the FT-60 is a very solid radio for the cost. I have many HTs, and none are as easy to program from the key pad as the Yaesu.
