[Yaesu] FT-950 on 60 meters

Tue Jul 11 16:54:06 EDT 2017

Yes it works good on 60 meters for both USB mode and CW mode (and sound 
card modes using USB).
In order to use 60 meters you must be in memory mode (V/M button) and 
select memory numbers U50 to U59 using the VFO-B knob. First press the 
MCH button on the bottom right to put the VFO-B knob into the memory 
tuning mode, then dial those memories. There are 5 channels for SSB , 5 
channels for CW pre-programmed in and not tunable.
If the above doesn't work, you may have the band turned off in the Band 
Enable menu item. Consult the manual for that.
The manual is available as a PDF on line at Yaesu and other places.
There is a mod available to that will allow you to use VFO mode whenever 
the FCC gets around to allocating a real 60 meter 'band' instead of just 
the 5 channels.
