In keeping with yesterday's "write it down, pass it on" post, here's Yet Another on programming an FT-70. You can do this using Chirp as well (link), but sometimes it's handy to do it manually. And yes, for you AMSAT folks out there, it does work for cross-band between 2m and 70cm.
First watch Ham Radio-Scanner's brief video, just over 2 minutes. Now on to the checklist!
- Turn Radio ON.
- Press [V/M] key to go to VFO mode.
- Dial in receive frequency, modes, codes, etc.
- Save by press & holding the [V/M] key.
- Enter the channel name the usual way. (So far this is regular kbd programming; review.)
- Press [V/M] key to go to VFO mode.
- Dial in transmit frequency.
- Press & hold the [V/M] key. Release.
- Dial back to the channel # used for the receive.
- Key mic and hold (don't worry, it won't transmit) while pressing [V/M].
- Go back to memory mode and confirm "- +" in the top display.
Remember "press" means press momentarily, while "press and hold" means for a second or so.
Finally, all of these cross-links are getting cumbersome. If you want to find the rest of my stuff on the FT-70, use the search bar. There aren't that many posts to dig through.
