Programming the Yaesu FT-60
To Enter Frequencies:
1. Look in repeater book for frequency and any tones.
2. Turn unit on and make sure you are in VFO mode by use of the V/M button
lower left.
If you see a small number on the upper left of the screen then you are in
Memory mode and can't directly enterfrequencies...so press the V/M key
again and the small memory number will disappear but the same frequency
you had in will be there.
3. Use the keypad to input the frequency you want. Make sure it has 6 digits in
it. This also verifies you are in the VFO mode.
4. Press the PTT button to keep it on screen. Press the F/W button for a second
and you will see tiny 3 digit number on the display....they represent memory
slots. Turn the large dial to the memory number you want it stored in. Press
the F/W again for 1/2 second and it will go into that memory bank. All set
there. This is called an open repeater.
5. If a tone is needed to access a repeater, repeat steps 1 and 2. Then press the
F/W key followed by pressing keypad #1. Rotate the dial to Tone but keep
rotating dial to TSQL.
6. Press the F/W key and press keypad #2. Turn the dial and select the tone
number associated with the repeater.
7. Press the F/W key to save tone and frequency.
8. To place this toned repeater in memory, repeat step 4.
Power Output adjustment:
To extend life of the battery before another charge, you may be close enough to the
repeater to use a lower power setting. This can be done by pressing the F/W key and
key#3 and turn the dial to choose HIGH, MED, LOW (5W, 2W, .05W).
NOTE: Even though you may have programmed a frequency in memory mode and
wish to use it, you can still use the above feature to adjust your power output BUT it
will not reset your original power output stored in memory. The TX PO on orange
over key #3 means transmission output.
