Disclaimer:
This guide is based on the Yaesu FT-60R Operating Manual, Copyright ©
2004, Vertex Standard CO., LTD., Tokyo, Japan, plus hands-on experience
testing each of the settings described in this guide. As I believe that there
may be small operating differences among different versions of the FT-60R,
I
strongly
suggest that you try
every
setting that you believe may be useful
during emergency operations with this guide in hand to be certain that your
radio works exactly as does mine. Do this, hopefully with a friend having
another transceiver to verify correct operation,
before an actual emergency
occurs.
No matter how much we drill and prepare for an emergency, the
only thing for certain is that you will encounter a situation you did not
expect, so stay calm and be prepared for the unexpected.
