I'm the 21st centaury. Why are we having to do this software stuff. Modern devices do it for you. Why all the code plug crap. The radio should be able to do it automatically.

@simplyhamradio8286 14 күн бұрын

One can wish, but the eproms/memory needed for it to automatically add repeaters would be too much, most rpt systems like the NEDECN has changed timeslots on different machines for no apparent reason, the stupidity of all that would never be feasible

Having good software made a big difference in using my new Yeasu FT-60r… Why? Because I am a beginner in Ham radio. After charging the HT, I programmed it & was using it in minutes. It is worth it…🎉 BTW, I didn’t have to use the disc. Download it online & fill out the form with the s/n & your email address. Done. Question though- can you use this software on a MARS modded ft-60?

@simplyhamradio8286 Ай бұрын

Yes I do when ever I work on my FT60 radio file, I have 4 FT60s all mars modded

I just looked and see that my FT5DR also has a crack in the same spot. Mine has never been dropped. I've barely had it outside or put it to use. I already had a sour view of Yaesu after purchasing an FT70DR radio, and hated the blasted thing. (I hated it so much that I traded it for a Chinese DMR radio) I gave Yaesu a 2nd chance by trying the FT5DR... I'm done with buying Yaesu gear. I bought an Icom ID50 and that thing is my new go-to radio.
