It’s barely changed since it was introduced in 2004 – and in this case, that’s a good thing.

The FT-60R includes wide receiver coverage, outstanding audio quality, the most CTCSS/DCS flexibility in the industry, and a new Emergency Automatic Identification (EAI) feature for search-and-rescue work.

I recently sold my FT-60R after updating to the FT-70DR. I'd owned it for around 8 years. This old handheld is a still a good Japanese made radio which in many respects holds its own today but I prefer the newer FT-70DR (also made in Japan) for my usage.

An Emergency Automatic ID system will automatically cause your FT-60R to transmit your callsign and engage the mic if you are disabled and unable to press the PTT switch.
