Very nice review on the FT-60 in response to my original question.
Thanks!

Thanks & no problem. The only other thing I'll say towards the
negative is that the FT-60 is a little inconsistent when using the
"SET" menu to change parameters. Sometimes you have to push the [F/W]
key to select the parameter, and other times you have to hit the PTT
button. Doesn't seem to have a rhyme or reason, and it's challenging
to remember which. Sometimes I hit PTT but end up ker-chunking the
repeater instead. :-)

You'll end up only changing the same few parameters in the field, like
Tx power, so it's not terrible.

One other plus - the speaker is LOUD and really punches through, esp.
on the noisy highway.
