Problem with Yaesu FT-250R Set Mode

[jamescaestecker]

Hello All,
I have a Yaesu FT-250R Transceiver. I am trying to use the Set Mode to change the radio from Wide Band To Narrow Band. The problem is, when I press the F/L button and then 0 (Set) it only types a zero into the channel number. I tried to use the F/L button to access other functions and it did not work either. Any idea why the F/L button doesn't work?

Figured out that the F/L function key does not work in memory only mode. My brother had changed it to show only channel numbers, so i reset the radio and programmed almost 100 frequencies in again... Good to know for next time.

And you would have found that one does not have to "reset" the radio.

I just saw giga parts selling that radio for 99.00$ are they good radios?

I find it to be a great radio. Small, loud volume output and remarkable quality of sound. Works well as a scanner or radio. I use mine as a scanner/radio to listen to railroad frequencies.

They are decent radios, I used to own a FT-150(predecessor to the 250), liked it, even with the top display, but I hated the speakermic plug. Other than that it was a solid little radio.
