FT-60R OPERATING MANUAL 15
TRANSMISSION
Once you have set up an appropriate frequency inside one of the 144 MHz or 430 MHz
Amateur bands on which the FT-60R can transmit, you’re ready to go on the air! These are
the most basic steps; more advanced aspects of transmitter operation will be discussed later.
To transmit, press the PTT switch, and speak into the
front panel microphone (located in the lower left-hand
corner of the speaker grille) in a normal voice level. The
TX/BUSY indicator will glow red during transmission.
To return to the receive mode, release the PTT switch.
During transmission, the relative power level will be
indicated on the bar graph at the bottom of the LCD;
full scale deflection confirms “High Power” operation, while deflection of two bars
indicates “Low Power” operation. Five bars indicates “Medium Power” operation.
Additionally, the “LOW” icon will appear at the bottom of the display while operating
on the “Low Power” and “Medium Power” settings.
1) If you’re just talking to friends in the immediate area, you’ll get much longer
battery life by switching to Low Power operation, described in the next chapter.
And don’t forget: always have an antenna connected when you transmit.
2) Transmission is possible only on the 144 MHz and 430 MHz bands.
Changing the Transmitter Power Level
To change the power level:
Press the
[
F/W
]
key, then press the
[
3
(
TX PO
)]
key.
The LCD shows the current power output level.
Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired power out-
put level. Available selections are “HIGH” (5 W), “MID”
(2 W), and “LOW” (0.5 W).
When you have made your choice, press the PTT switch
to save the new setting and return to normal operation.
1) The FT-60R is smart! You can set up Low power on the 144 MHz band,
while leaving 430 MHz on High power, and the radio will remember the
different settings on both bands. And when you store memories, you can store
the power output settings separately in each memory, so you don’t waste battery power
when using very close-in repeaters!
2) When you are operating on the “Low” or “Medium” power setting, you can press the
[F/W] key, when press the PTT switch, to cause the FT-60R to transmit (temporarily) on
High power. After one transmission, the power level will revert to the previously-selected
(“Low” or “Medium” power) setting.
