Thanks Tony,

Power supply is around 13.97 V and when 857 is powered ON, there is no difference (14.01 V).

First, check the power supply voltage. And check when 857 is powered off and on. There should be virtually no difference in power supply voltage.

Subject: [FT-857] Switching on/off my FT-857D

?

Hi folks,

For the very first time, my old FT-857D is messing around.
When I push the Power ON/OFF to switch off the radio, the front panel stop displaying the informations from the VFO but don't switch off totally the radio. The LCD is still illuminated !
And switching on again don't bring the display back. The only solution is to switch off the power supply.
The problem is I need sometimes to switch on/off again several time the power supply to get the radio running again.
I think in no time, I won't be able to switch on again the radio
Any suggestion about what to check ?

Many thanks in advance,

73 de Thierry, F4GVO
