Compare the two. Big display, small display. Big radio, small radio. Subjective answer.

Was leaning toward functionality really. Vfo feel, menu ease, reception quality, noise blanker effectiveness, you know - that stuff

Both great radios with similar features. The qt80 is a more powerful radio but the qt60 has a bigger display.

Pick your poison.

They are essentially the same radio in different packages. The 80 has a DC boost board to get more output and 15 meters. The 60P has a different front, display and size. VFO encoder is the same.

I have a QT80 and used to have a QT60. I prefer the QT80. The user interface is more intuitive to me, perhaps because it reminds me of most 2m/440 radios I've had, works very similarly. The QT60 has an interface that reminds me of my old Ranger 2950 and a busy display similar to a Stryker. Not a bad thing, just less intuitive for me anyway.

I wouldn't have known which I preferred until I tried them both. It's a very personal and subjective choice, although you can carefully compare the specs and features online and see if any differences sway you one way or the other (power, size, menu structure, etc.). Both are great radios with impressively high build quality and performance. We are living in the golden era of 10/11m export radios!

P.S. I also have a QT40 which is super fun and nostalgic AND performs great.
