Byron Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hi Paramotor Family I trust you are all well. Please can someone give me simple straight answer as I am not technical. I live in Belize, Central America and am the only paramotor pilot in our small country, so hopefully I'll get others into it. Problem I have is I left my old radios back in South Africa. I imported a Yaesu FT-60 from the States. I can receive air traffic on common band 122.8 but I cannot seem to transmit on common airband to let air traffic know I will be in the air? Is the FT-60 incapable of transmitting to air traffic? Is it only able to receive or is there an adjustment I need to do to be able to transmit? Sincere appreciation for any answers provided. Warmest regards Byron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidG4 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 It is Rx only on the bands which are not amateur bands. Essentially its a pimped up Amateur dual band handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
