FT-60R OPERATING MANUAL 59
MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS
RECEIVE BATTERY SAVER SETUP
An important feature of the FT-60R is its Receive Battery Saver, which “puts the radio to
sleep” for a time interval, periodically “waking it up” to check for activity. If somebody is
talking on the channel, the FT-60R will remain in the “active” mode, then resume its
“sleep” cycles. This feature significantly reduces quiescent battery drain, and you may
change the amount of “sleep” time between activity checks using the Set Mode:
1. Press the
[
F/W
]
key, then press the
[
0
( )
SET
]
key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 41: RXSAVE.
3. Press the
[
F/W
]
key momentarily to enable adjustment of this
Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired “sleep” duration.
The selections available are 200 ms, 300 ms, 500 ms, 1 second,
2 seconds, or OFF. The default value is 200 ms.
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
When you are operating on Packet, switch the Receive Battery Saver OFF, as
the sleep cycle may “collide” with the beginning of an incoming Packet trans-
mission, causing your TNC not to receive the full data burst.
TX BATTERY SAVER
The FT-60R also includes a useful Transmit Battery Saver, which will automatically lower
the power output level when the last signal received was very strong. For example, when
you are in the immediate vicinity of a repeater station, there generally is no reason to use
the High Power output in order to achieve full-quieting access to the repeater. With the
Transmit Battery Saver, the automatic selection of Low Power operation conserves battery
drain significantly.
To activate the Transmit Battery Saver:
1. Press the
[
F/W
]
key, then press the
[
0
( )
SET
]
key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 53: TXSAVE.
3. Press the
[
F/W
]
key momentarily to enable adjustment of this
Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set this Set Mode Item to “SAV. ON”
(thus activating the Transmit Battery Saver).
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to
save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
