Summary:
This Quick Guide was created to present the most common settings of the
Yaesu FT-60R handheld dual-band transceiver in an organized way for rapid
reference during field operations. My goal was to include all the features
and functions for use in a public emergency such as an earthquake by both
search and rescue teams and emergency services coordinators presented in a
clear and straightforward way. I have intentionally limited coverage of
features and functionality not likely to be used in emergency service, and
welcome comments and suggestions for improving the guide.
