![FT-60R/E OPERATING MANUAL 13OPERATIONSELECTING THE OPERATING BANDPress the [BAND(BAND DN)] key repetitively. You willsee the LCD indication move toward a higher frequencyband each time you press the [BAND(BAND DN)] key.850 MHz 144 MHz 250 MHz 350 MHz 430 MHz 850 MHz ……If you wish to move the operating band selection down-ward (toward a lower frequency band), press the [F/W]key first, then press the [BAND(BAND DN)] key.350 MHz 250 MHz 144 MHz 850 MHz 430 MHz 350 MHz ……Once you have selected the desired band, youmay initiate manual tuning (or scanning) perthe discussion in the next chapter.FREQUENCY NAVIGATIONThe FT-60R/E will initially be operating in the “VFO” mode, a channelized system whichallows free tuning throughout the currently-selected operating band.Three basic frequency navigation methods are available on the FT-60R/E:1) Tuning DialRotation of the DIAL allows tuning in the pre-programmedsteps established for the current operating band. Clockwiserotation of the DIAL causes the FT-60R/E to be tuned to-ward a higher frequency, while counter-clockwise rotationwill lower the operating frequency.If you press the [F/W] key momentarily, then rotate theDIAL, frequency steps of 1 MHz will be selected. This fea-ture is extremely useful for making rapid frequency excursions over the wide tuning rangeof the FT-60R/E.FREQUENCY RANGE108.000 - 200.000 MHz200.000 - 300.000 MHz300.000 - 400.000 MHz400.000 - 520.000 MHz700.000 - 999.990 MHzBAND144 MHz Band250 MHz Band350 MHz Band430 MHz Band850 MHz Band](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/20175X20.Operating-Manual/User-Guide-1992565-Page-15.png)
![FT-60R/E OPERATING MANUAL142) Direct Keypad Frequency EntryThe desired operating frequency may be entered directly from the keypad.To enter a frequency from the keypad, just press the numbered digits on the keypad in theproper sequence.Examples:To enter 145.560 MHz, press [1] [4] [5] [5] [6] [0]To enter 145.5625 MHz (in 12.5 kHz), [1] [4] [5] [5] [6] [2]3) ScanningPress and hold in either the [(MHz)] or [(MHz)] keyfor one second to initiate upward or downward scanning,respectively (Manual VFO Scan).For scanning within a limited sub-band range, from the VFOmode, press and hold in the [V/M(PRI)] key for one secondto begin scanning toward a higher frequency within the pre-viously-defined sub-band (Programmed VFO Scan). Detailsregarding sub-band setup may be found on page 36.If you wish to reverse the direction of the scan (i.e. toward alower frequency, instead of a higher frequency), just rotatethe DIAL one click in the counter-clockwise direction whilethe FT-60R/E is scanning. The scanning direction will bereversed. To revert to scanning toward a higher frequencyonce more, rotate the DIAL one click clockwise.The scanner will stop when it receives a signal strong enough to break through the Squelchthreshold. The FT-60R/E will then hold on that frequency according to the setting of the“RESUME” mode (Set Mode Item 35: RESUME). Press the PTT switch momentarily tocancel the scanning. This only stops the scan; it does not cause transmission to occur. Seepage 35 for details regarding Scan Operation.OPERATIONFREQUENCY NAVIGATION(Programmed VFO Scan)(Manual VFO Scan)](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/20175X20.Operating-Manual/User-Guide-1992565-Page-16.png)
![FT-60R/E OPERATING MANUAL 15TRANSMISSIONOnce you have set up an appropriate frequency inside one of the 144 MHz or 430 MHz Ama-teur bands on which the FT-60R/E can transmit, you’re ready to go on the air! These are themost basic steps; more advanced aspects of transmitter operation will be discussed later.To transmit, press the PTT switch, and speak into the frontpanel microphone (located in the lower left-hand cornerof 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 beindicated on the bar graph at the bottom of the LCD;full scale deflection confirms “High Power” operation, while deflection of two barsindicates “Low Power” operation. Five bars indicates “Medium Power” operation.Additionally, the “LOW” icon will appear at the bottom of the display while operat-ing on the “Low Power” and “Medium Power” settings.1) If you’re just talking to friends in the immediate area, you’ll get much longerbattery 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 LevelTo 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 switchto save the new setting and return to normal operation.1) The FT-60R/E 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 thedifferent settings on both bands. And when you store memories, you canstore the power output settings separately in each memory, so you don’t waste batterypower 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/E to transmit (temporarily)on High power. After one transmission, the power level will revert to the previously-selected (“Low” or “Medium” power) setting.OPERATION](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/20175X20.Operating-Manual/User-Guide-1992565-Page-17.png)

![FT-60R/E OPERATING MANUAL 19REPEATER OPERATIONRepeater stations, usually located on mountaintops or other high locations, provide a dra-matic extension of the communication range for low-powered hand-held or mobile trans-ceivers. The FT-60R/E includes a number of features which make repeater operationsimple and enjoyable.REPEATER SHIFTSYour FT-60R/E has been configured, at the factory, for the repeater shifts customary inyour country. For the 144 MHz band shift will be 600 kHz; on the 430 MHz band, the shiftmay be 1.6 MHz, 7.6 MHz, or 5 MHz (USA version).Depending on the part of the band in which you are operating, the repeater shift may beeither downward () or upward (), and oneof these icons will appear at the top of the LCDwhen repeater shifts have been enabled.AUTOMATIC REPEATER SHIFT (ARS)The FT-60R/E provides a convenient Automatic Repeater Shift feature, which causes theappropriate repeater shift to be applied automatically whenever you tune into the desig-nated repeater sub-bands in your country. These sub-bands are shown below.If the ARS feature does not appear to be working, you may have accidentally disabled it.To re-enable ARS: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 4: ARS.3. Press the [F/W] key momentarily to enable adjustment of thisItem.4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “ARS. ON.”5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch tosave the new setting and return to normal operation.](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/20175X20.Operating-Manual/User-Guide-1992565-Page-21.png)
![FT-60R/E OPERATING MANUAL20MANUAL REPEATER SHIFT ACTIVATIONIf the ARS feature has been disabled, or if you need to set a repeater shift direction otherthan that established by the ARS, you may set the direction of the repeater shift manually.To do this: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 38: RPT.MOD.3. Press the [F/W] key momentarily to enable adjustment of thisItem.4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired shift among “RPT.–,”“RPT.+,” and “RPT.OFF.”5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch tosave the new setting and return to normal operation.If you make a change in the shift direction, but still have Automatic RepeaterShift still engaged (see previous section), when you change frequency (byrotating the DIAL knob, for example) the ARS will over-ride your manualsetting of the shift direction. Turn ARS off if you do not wish this to happen.Changing the Default Repeater ShiftsIf you travel to a different region, you may need to change the default repeater shift so asto ensure compatibility with local operating requirements.To do this, follow the procedure below:1. Set the FT-60R/E’s frequency to the band on which you wish to change the defaultrepeater shift (144 MHz or 430 MHz Amateur Band).2. Press the [F/W] key, then press the [0()SET] key to enter the Set mode.3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 45: SHIFT.4. Press the [F/W] key momentarily to enable adjustment of thisItem.5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the new repeater shift magni-tude.6. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch tosave the new setting and return to normal operation.If you just have one “odd” split that you need to program, don’t change the“default” repeated shifts using this Set Mode Item. Enter the transmit andreceive frequencies separately, as shown on page 28.REPEATER OPERATION](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/20175X20.Operating-Manual/User-Guide-1992565-Page-22.png)
![FT-60R/E OPERATING MANUAL 21Checking the Repeater Uplink (Input) FrequencyIt often is helpful to be able to check the uplink (input) frequency of a repeater, to see if thecalling station is within direct (“Simplex”) range.To do this, just press the [HM/RV] key. You’ll notice thatthe display has shifted to the repeater uplink frequency. Pressthe [HM/RV] key again to cause operation to revert to nor-mal monitoring of the repeater downlink (output) frequency.While you are listening on the input frequency to the re-peater using the [HM/RV] key, the repeater offset icon willblink.The configuration of this key may be set either to “RV” (for checking theinput frequency of a repeater), or “HM” (for instant switching to the “Home”channel for the band you are operating on). To change the configuration ofthis key, use Set Mode Item 36: REV/HM. See page 75.MANUAL REPEATER SHIFT ACTIVATIONREPEATER OPERATION](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/20175X20.Operating-Manual/User-Guide-1992565-Page-23.png)
![FT-60R/E OPERATING MANUAL22CTCSS OPERATIONMany repeater systems require that a very-low-frequency audio tone be superimposed onyour FM carrier in order to activate the repeater. This helps prevent false activation of therepeater by radar or spurious signals from other transmitters. This tone system, called“CTCSS” (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System), is included in your FT-60R/E, andis very easy to activate.CTCSS setup involves two actions: setting the Tone Mode and then setting ofthe Tone Frequency. These actions are set up by using the [1(SQ TYP)] keyand [2(CODE)] key.1. Press the [F/W] key, then press the [1(SQ TYP)] key to enable selection of the CTCSS/DCS mode.2. Rotate the DIAL knob so that “TONE” indication appears on thedisplay; this activates the CTCSS Encoder, for access to repeat-ers requiring a CTCSS tone.3. Rotation of the DIAL knob one more “click” in step “2” above will cause the “TSQL”notation to appear. When “TSQL” is displayed, this means that the Tone SQueLchsystem is active, which mutes your FT-60R/E’s receiver until it receives a call fromanother radio sending out a matching CTCSS tone. This canhelp keep your radio quiet until a specific call is received, whichmay be helpful while operating in congested areas of the band.1) You may notice a “REV TN” indication on the display while you rotatethe DIAL knob in this step; this means that the Reverse Tone Squelchsystem is active, which mutes your FT-60R/E’s receiver (instead of open-ing the squelch) when it receives a call from the radio sending a matched CTCSStone. The “TSQ” icon will blink on the display when the Reverse Tone Squelchsystem is activated.2) You may notice a “DCS” indication on the display while you rotate the DIALknob still more. We’ll discuss the Digital Code Squelch system shortly.4. When you have made your selection of the CTCSS tone mode, press the PTT switchto save the new setting.5. Press the [F/W] key, then press the[2(CODE)] key to enable adjustment ofthe CTCSS frequency.6. Rotate the DIAL knob until the displayindicates the Tone Frequency you needto be using (askthe repeaterowner/operator ifyou don’t know the tone frequency).CTCSS/DCS OPERATIONCTCSS TONE FREQUENCY (Hz) 67.0 69.3 71.9 74.4 77.0 79.7 82.5 85.4 88.5 91.5 94.8 97.4100.0 103.5 107.2 110.9 114.8 118.8123.0 127.3 131.8 136.5 141.3 146.2151.4 156.7 159.8 162.2 165.5 167.9171.3 173.8 177.3 179.9 183.5 186.2189.9 192.8 196.6 199.5 203.5 206.5210.7 218.1 225.7 229.1 233.6 241.8250.3 254.1 ––––](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/20175X20.Operating-Manual/User-Guide-1992565-Page-24.png)
![FT-60R/E OPERATING MANUAL 23CTCSS/DCS OPERATIONCTCSS OPERATION7. When you have made your selection, press the [F/W] key momentarily to save thenew settings and exit to normal operation. This is different thanthe usual method of restoring normal operation, and it appliesonly to the configuration of the CTCSS/DCS frequencies.Your repeater may or may not re-transmit a CTCSS tone - some systems justuse CTCSS to control access to the repeater, but don’t pass it along whentransmitting. If the S-Meter deflects, but the FT-60R/E is not passing audio,repeat steps “1” through “4” above, but rotate the DIAL so that “TSQ” disappears - thiswill allow you to hear all traffic on the channel being utilized.DCS OPERATIONAnother form of tone access control is Digital Code Squelch, or DCS. It is a newer, moreadvanced tone system which generally provides more immunity from false paging thandoes CTCSS. The DCS Encoder/Decoder is built into your FT-60R/E, and operation isvery similar to that just described for CTCSS. Your repeater system may be configured forDCS; if not, DCS is frequently quite useful in Simplex operation if your friend(s) usetransceivers equipped with this advanced feature.Just as in CTCSS operation, DCS requires that you set the Tone Mode to DCS and thatyou select a tone code.1. Press the [F/W] key, then press the [1(SQ TYP)] key to enable selection of the CTCSS/DCS mode.2. Rotate the DIAL knob until the “DCS” indication appears onthe display; this activates the DCS Encoder/Decoder.3. Press the PTT key to save the new setting.4. Press the [F/W] key, then press the [2(CODE)] key to enableadjustment of the DCS code.5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired DCS Code (a three-digit number). Ask the repeater owner/operator if you don’t know DCS Code; ifyou are working simplex, just set up theDCS Code to be the same as that used byyour friend(s).6. When you have made your selection,press the [F/W] key momentarily to savethe new settingsand exit to normaloperation.DCS CODE023 025 026 031 032 036 043 047 051 053054 065 071 072 073 074 114 115 116 122125 131 132 134 143 145 152 155 156 162165 172 174 205 212 223 225 226 243 244245 246 251 252 255 261 263 265 266 271274 306 311 315 325 331 332 343 346 351356 364 365 371 411 412 413 423 431 432445 446 452 454 455 462 464 465 466 503506 516 523 526 532 546 565 606 612 624627 631 632 654 662 664 703 712 723 731732 734 743 754 – – – – – –](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/20175X20.Operating-Manual/User-Guide-1992565-Page-25.png)
![FT-60R/E OPERATING MANUAL24Remember that the DCS is an Encode/Decode system, so your receiver willremain muted until a matching DCS code is received on an incoming trans-mission. Switch the DCS off when you’re just tuning around the band!TONE SEARCH SCANNINGIn operating situations where you don’t know the CTCSS or DCS tone being used byanother station or stations, you can command the radio to listen to the incoming signal andscan in search of the tone being used. Two things must be remembered in this regard:You must be sure that your repeater uses the same tone type (CTCSS vs. DCS).Some repeaters do not pass the CTCSS tone; you may have to listen to the station(s)transmitting on the repeater uplink (input) frequency in order to allow Tone SearchScanning to work.To scan for the tone in use:1. Set the radio up for either CTCSS or DCS Decoder operation (see the previous dis-cussions). In the case of CTCSS, “ ” will appear on the display; in the case ofDCS, “ ” will appear on the display.2. Press the [F/W] key, then press the [2(CODE)] key.3. Press and hold in the [(MHz)] or [(MHz)] key for one sec-ond to start scanning for the incoming CTCSS or DCS tone/code.4. When the radio detects the correct tone or code, it will halt onthat tone/code, and audio will be allowed to pass. Press the[F/W] key to lock in that tone/code, then press the [F/W] key again to exit to normaloperation.If the Tone Scan feature does not detect a tone or code, it will continue toscan indefinitely. When this happens, it may be that the other station is notsending any tone. You can press the PTT switch to halt the scan at any time.You also can press the MONI key during Tone Scanning to listen to the (muted) signalfrom the other station.

Using the techniques learned earlier, store (per the above concept) 144.300 MHz intoMemory Channel #L01 (the “L” designates the Lower sub-band limit).3. Likewise, store 148.000 MHz into Memory Channel #U01 (the “U” designates theUpper sub-band limit).4. Confirm the radio is in the VFO mode, press and hold in the [BAND(BAND DN)]key for one second, and rotate the DIAL knob to select the de-sired PMS frequency pair (PMSxx), then press the[BAND(BAND DN)] key.5. Now, press and hold in the [V/M(PRI)] key for one second to initiate the Program-mable (Band Limit) Memory Scan; the Memory Channel number will be replaced by“Pxx.” Scanning and tuning will now be limited within the just-programmed range.6. 50 pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled L01/U01 through L50/U50 are available.You therefore can set upper and lower operation limits in multiple segments on anumber of bands, if you like.SCANNINGWEATHER ALERT SCAN](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/20175X20.Operating-Manual/User-Guide-1992565-Page-42.png)

![FT-60R/E OPERATING MANUAL 51The ARTS™ feature uses DCS signaling to inform both parties when you and anotherARTS™-equipped station are within communications range. This may be particularlyuseful during Search-and Rescue situations, where is important to stay in contact withother members of your group.Both stations must set up their DCS codes to the same code number, then activate theirARTS™ feature using the command appropriate for their radio. Alert ringers may beactivated, if desired.Whenever you push the PTT, or every 25 (or 15) seconds after ARTS™ is activated, yourradio will transmit a signal which includes a (subaudible) DCS signal for about 1 second. Ifthe other radio is in range, the beeper will sound (if enabled) and the display will show“IN.RNG” as opposed to the out of range display “OUT.RNG” in which ARTS™ operationbegins.Whether you talk or not, the polling every 15 or 25 seconds willcontinue until you de-activate ARTS™. Every 10 minutes, more-over, you can have your radio transmit your callsign via CW, so asto comply with identification requirements. When ARTS™ is de-activated, DCS will also be deactivated (if you were not using itpreviously in non-ARTS™ operation).If you move out of range for more than one minute (four pollings), your radio will sensethat no signal has been received, three beeps will sound, and the display will revert to“OUT.RNG.” If you move back into range, your radio will again beep, and the display willchange back to the “IN.RNG” indication.During ARTS™ operation, it is not possible to change the operating frequency or othersettings; you must terminate ARTS™ in order to resume normal operation.

![FT-60R/E OPERATING MANUAL 61TRANSMITTER TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)The TOT feature provides a safety switch which limits transmission time to a pre-pro-grammed value. This will promote battery conservation by not allowing you to makeexcessively-long transmissions, and in the event of a stuck PTT switch (perhaps if theradio or a Speaker/Mic is wedged between car seats) it can prevent interference to otherusers as well as battery depletion. As configured at the factory the TOT feature is set toOFF, and here is the procedure for activating it: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 51: TOT.3. Press the [F/W] key momentarily to enable adjustment of thisSet Mode Item.4.

![FT-60R/E OPERATING MANUAL 63DCS CODE INVERSIONThe DCS system was first introduced in the commercial LMR (Land Mobile Radio) ser-vice, where it is now in widespread use. DCS is sometime referred to by its different propri-etary names, such as DPL® (Digital Private Line®, a registered trademark of Motorola,Inc.).DCS uses a codeword consisting of a 23-bit frame, transmitted (subaudible) at a data rateof 134.4 bps (bit/sec). Occasionally, signal inversion can result in the complement of acode to be sent or received. This prevents the receiver’s squelch from opening with DCSenabled, as the decoded bit sequence would not match that selected for operation.Typical situations that might cause inversion to occur are:Connection of an external receiver preamplifier.Operating through a repeater.Connection of an external linear amplifier.Note that code inversion does not mean that any of the above listed equipment is defec-tive!In certain amplifier configurations, the output signal (phase) is inverted from the input.Small signal or power amplifiers having an odd number (1, 3, 5, etc.) of amplificationstages may result in inversion of a transmitted or received DCS code.While under most circumstances this should not occur (amplifier designs and industrystandards take this into account), if you find that your receiver squelch does not openwhen both you and the other station are using a common DCS code, you or the otherstation (but not both) can try the following:1.
