Use a frequency counter to display the transmit frequency for each channel?

I looked up the product specs online to figure out what band they are broadcasting in and then have her hold down the PTT key and talk while you scan through the VHF/UHF listed. Worked for me I guess.

Not sure if this is true with your wife's Motorola, but with an Icom you can use the relevant programming software/cable to read the configuration. Whenever I buy a used radio I make it a habit to back up the existing configuration before wiping the unit and uploading my own-just in case the previous owner needs it.

Key the mike and have her count to 100.
Have the FT60 on scan till you hit it. |

This is reason enough to get an inexpensive frequency counter. Can come in handy.

I would google the model number and try to find the manual. The manual will probably help you figure out the best/cheapest of the above options for finding the frequency, and may even help you figure it out just from the documentation alone.
