Internet Connection Feature [49]

I have heard a lot of interest in this feature but it is always related to how to turn
off WiRes™. The most detailed instructions can be found at

http://wa3fkg.blogspot.com/2010/02/something-every-ft-60-owner-should-know.html


The basic idea is to first insure that the memory location used to hold the
transmitted DTMF string is empty. Then tell the software to use this memory
location when WiRES is active. So if WiRES is not active, no harm done. If it
accidently gets activated, no tones are transmitted.

It is not clear if you still get the initial 0.1 second blanking at the start of the
transmission if there is nothing to transmit.

ARTS™ (Automatic Range Transponder System) [51]

Basic ARTS Setup and Operation

ARTS Polling Time Options [52]

ARTS Alert Beep Option [52]

CW Identifier Setup [53]

This feature of ARTS automatically transmits your call sign in CW every 10
minutes. Too bad it only works if ARTS is active.

Reset Procedure [64]

There are a total of 4 levels of reset. The lowest level resets the Set Menu mode
data to factory defaults. The highest level clears everything.

If you have all radio data stored on a PC and can restore via a cable, they you
might as well clear everything first. But if you must manually input data, I
recommend you start with the lowest level reset, see if that fixed the problem,
and escalate as needed.

Jack Travis suggested removing the battery from the radio (for a few seconds)
and then putting it back in. He has found that this solves 90% of his errant
software behavior problems.
