If someone is telling you the 857 is too sensitive to use with a 'base' antenna, beware because they are definitely blowing smoke somewhere that you really don't need smoke !! I would consider looking for advice from another source.

Hi everybody,
I am using this radio at home, and I am being told that the Rx sensitivity is too much for a base antenna, since this radio is designed to operate mobile.
In fact I have TOO MUCH of a problem with the QRM, (never less than 9+10, in 80 m, never less than 8 at 20 m), so I thought that maybe it's a good idea, if I write down all the current settings of the hidden menu, and then reduce little by little the sensitivity in all the bands. Just a tiny bit, just to have a quieter receiver.
I am NOT sure if the current settings are the original, cause I bought it used, so before I do anything, I would like to have someone's ORIGINAL SETTINGS and of course a guidance regarding the menu's items.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
