New radio

Post by cowboy4x4 » Wed May 15, 2013 8:11 pm

I just picked up my new radio... (thanks for the info Larry) checked everything out, read the instruction manual..... but it is still all greek to me. This is going to be a tough learning curve for me Im not to tech savvy.... I got a YAESU FT-60 upgraded to a Diamond antenna. I got my lic so many years ago I have forgotten everything I learned.

Congrats on the radio !!! Did you get a mag-mount antenna for use in the rig (if not, you should ;) )

If you don't get it all figured out by then, bring it to the OAUSA Summerfest / Field Day event 6/21-23...and you'll have a bunch of folks who can help you program it and explain how to use it :mrgreen:
