FT-60R/E OPERATING MANUAL12
Hi! I’m R. F. Radio, and I’ll be helping you along as you learn the many
features of the FT-60R/E. I know you’re anxious to get on the air, but I
encourage you to read the “Operation” section of this manual as thoroughly
as possible, so you’ll get the most out of this fantastic new transceiver. Now. . .let’s get
operating!
SWITCHING POWER ON AND OFF
Be sure the Battery Pack is installed, and that the bat-
tery is fully charged. Connect the antenna to the top
panel Antenna jack.
Rotate the top panel’s VOL knob out of the click-stop
to turn on the radio. The current DC supply voltage will
be indicated on the display for 2 seconds. After this 2
second interval, the display will resume its normal indi-
cation of the operating frequency.
To turn the radio off, turn the VOL knob fully counter-clockwise into the click stop
position.
ADJUSTING THE AUDIO VOLUME LEVEL AND SQUELCH SETTING
At first, set the SQL knob fully counter-clockwise. Now,
you may rotate the VOL knob to adjust the receiver level
for a comfortable listing level, using the background
noise as a reference.
To set the squelch, turn the SQL knob clockwise, slightly
past the point where the background noise is muted.
This is the point of best sensitivity to weak signals, and
we recommend that you not rotate the SQL knob very much past the point where the
background noise is just silenced.
1) A special “RF Squelch” feature is provided on this radio. This feature
allows you to set the squelch so that only signals exceeding a certain S-meter
level will open the squelch. See page 18 for details.
2) If you’re operating in an area of high RF pollution, you may need to consider “Tone
Squelch” operation using the built-in CTCSS Decoder. This feature will keep your ra-
dio quiet until a call is received from a station sending a carrier which contains a matching
(subaudible) CTCSS tone. Or, if your friends have radios equipped with DCS (Digital
Coded Squelch) like your FT-60R/E has, try using that mode for silent monitoring of
busy channels.
