I finally decided to try 2-meter SSB last night for the first time. I have had the 857D for almost a year and a half, but never realized it could do SSB on VHF. I did notice the frequency was a tad off from where it was supposed to be, so someone suggested I install a TCXO-9.?I ordered a Yaesu TCXO-9 from DX Engineering today, and am hoping that it is an easy install and will actually be worth the $110 plus shipping I paid for it.

Have you had positive results with yours?

I replaced the IF filters in my 857. The TX Busy light used to flicked yellow when setting mode to CW and receiving CW, now it shows constant green.

I can do with some advice on what normal behavior is please. ?I don’t dabble into CW quite often and might be missing something. Also the back light color settings used to be different, which I don’t know if it has on the LED color at least.

Thinking of it, it may even be that AGC and noise could cause it to remain on. I have to check.

Do they change when you change the display colour??? I can’t check mine now because it is packed (change of QTH!), but it might be worth a try.

The red background light on the mic buttons is normal. Was it not red before? I know some microphones have a light switch to turn it on or off, such as the MH-48A6J. But I believe the MH-59A8J doesn't have the ability to turn the backlight off.

Hi Mitch,

thanks for your reply. The mystery tightens. I called Yaesu tech support today and they suggested to reconnect the original microphone to the radio, instead of my Heil Pro 7 headset, no dice same issue.

If I leave the power supply on my FT-857D works normally from the moment I turn it on.

Thought to share this with you, the group and Hank Lambert that is trying to figure out the problem with us.. I'll keep you posted.

Hi Stefano,

That kind of behavior would lead me to think it is a bad solder joint somewhere because of the rig having to "warm up". The question would be where. You might could isolate it to a area using a plastic or non-metallic tool by pressing slightly in various ares of the boards. Visual inspection may help as well, but there are mounted parts on both sides and removing a board would be necessary to examine both sides. SMD connections will develop the same type of cold joints that through hole parts will..
