Memory Only Mode; Weather Broadcast Channels - Yaesu FT-60R Operating Manual

M M
EMORY
Once memory channel programming has been completed, you may place the radio in a
"Memory Only" mode, whereby VFO operation is impossible. This may be particularly
useful during public-service events, where a number of operators may be using the radio
for first time, and ultimate simplicity of channel selection is desired.
To place the radio into the Memory Only mode:
1. Turn the radio off.
2. Press and hold in the MONI switch (just below the PTT switch)
while turning the radio on.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the "F5 M-ONLY" option, then
press the [ F/W ] key.
To return to normal operation, repeat the above power-on proce-
dure.

The VHF Weather Broadcast Station Memory Channel Bank has been pre-programmed at
the factory, for quick selection of NOAA weather information stations.
1. Press and hold in the [ 1 ( SQ TYP )] key for one second to recall
the Weather Broadcast Memory Bank.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired Weather Broadcast
channel.
3. If you wish to scan this bank to search for louder stations, just press the PTT switch.
When the scanner pauses on a station, press the
PTT key once to halt the scan, or press it twice
to restart the scan.
4. To exit to normal operation, press the [ V/M ( PRI )]
key, or press and hold in the [ 1 ( SQ TYP )] key
again.
Severe Weather Alert
In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as severe thunderstorms and hurri-
canes, the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) sends a weather
alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and subsequent weather report on one of the NOAA
weather channels. See page 39 for details regarding activation of this mode.
