Re: 857D not getting switched on
It came on automatically. This problem was earlier also. It will not get switched on sometime. so keep the power supply on then after some time it functions as normal. Use to take short time for this.

Re: 857D not getting switched on
So you've got the head plugged in properly, and the data cable is in the right place? You've not left a programming lead plugged in have you? And you've got 12v power going to the radio? Checked all

Re: SLIGHT drift on 40M - Ideas?
UPDATE: The drift seems to have been a fluke. I've been monitoring several times, two hours at a time and the radio is rock solid. Even off overnight and watching for the first two hours after turn on

Re: FT 857 poor AM & SSB reception. FM fine
