How do I set my FT-60R up for SO-67?? Its only one freq isn't it?
Jerry,
I don't have an FT-60, I have an FT-50 and use what the owners manual calls VFO Duplex Mode. This allows one VFO to be on the xmit frequency and the other VFO to be on the receive frequency. I looked at the online owners manual for your FT-60 and did not see the VFO Duplex option mentioned, so you might want to set up memories for SO-67. Here is a link to K6LCS's page showing how he set memories for AO-51 on an FT-60: http://homepage.mac.com/clintbradford/.Public/satbr3.pdf Note that the freqs/tone shown for AO-51 are not correct for SO-67. You will have to plug in the correct frequencies yourself (don't forget the tone). Note that there are a number of freqs plugged into the memory locations to allow for Doppler. All that being said, I have not actually attempted operation through SO-67 (just listened). I just thought the information here might help get you started.
