Thanks for this video. I just picked up my 1st radio; a 2nd hand Yaesu FT-60R. Your video was great help.

I wish the print on the face looked as big IRL as it does in your video. I always seem to see something in the videos that I could not see in person. Even with cataract surgery and corrective lenses it's still too small! Working on memorizing the keypad layout so I don't have to read it. Wish me luck. 😆

Nothing wrong with getting started on a Baofeng lol. I'm shopping around for a radio to make the jump from my Baofeng to something with a bit more robustness. This FT-60R is my current frontrunner.

I am looking at this radio along with the Alinco DJ-VX50 and the Wouxun KG-UV9PX. Do you have any thoughts on a comparison between these 3 radios?

I haven’t used those that you mentioned. I would go with the Yaesu because it has a better track record

Please help me. I was testing my Yaesu FT-60 listening to the frequency 450.750Mhz, and i decided to transmit, at the sane time, with my Baofeng UV-5R on a completely different frequency (462Mhz or so, and the radios were 1 - 2 meter apart or so) and i noticed the Yaesu FT-60 went completely mute on the 450.750Mhz frequency. I thought things like this weren’t supposed to happen on this radio bc of the Double Superheterodyne Reciever. Please tell me if this is normal or not.

Nothing is wrong with the radio. Since your transmission is within the area of the FT-60 the receiver is overloaded so it can’t receive on the frequency you want to hear.

Will this radio tx/rx so much better than a Baofeng? I really don't care about menu options as much as being able to be heard and hear others on repeaters. If they're both only 5 watts why is this so much better?

The FT-60 is built very well and very rugged. The TX and RX outperforms any Baofeng by a landslide.

The uv is an awesome radio for sure, it has the advantage of being jail broken, we all know that, and being a pretty sturdy little radio for 20 bucks, a back pack radio. But in actual field I want my ft60, it's built like a german whore and you actually can unlock these radios too pretty easy but the radio can die if you dont know what your doing. If your serious about ham in the long term the ft is best, it has a significantly better recieve and tx and sounds wayyyyy better. Fucking quality. The uv is something you buy a case of and arm the family. They are both great radios.

there are many reasons, for someone who is thinking about a more serious interest in amateur radio versus just an emergency radio, the FT-60 is a durable high quality unit with a manual and a warranty
