Re: FT-857D External ALC
The manual isn't very clear on this. Here is some info on wiring for an amp, though: https://vk2qr.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/simultaneous-use-of-cat-control-and-linear-amplifier-on-yaesu-ft-857d.pdf

FT-857D External ALC
I'm trying to connect my recently purchased FT-857D to an amp and it seems unresponsive to the ALC voltage provided from the amp. Menu 20 is set to CAT so the amp can follow band changes. Does it need

Re: 2m QRM
Does it change at all with the attenuator swirched in?? I don't remember if the preamp (IPO) can be switched off on 2M.? But I would try toggling that.? If I had to guess, I would say that the

Re: 2m QRM
Bad ceramic filters should be apparent on all bands in the same mode as 2 meters as that part of the IF is common to VHF/UHF and HF. It would also be apparent if the radio is operated from the home

Re: 2m QRM
Agree with Alfred, Bad Ceramic filter can cause this problem, S meter should be close to zero with no antenna. It also sounds like you have an antenna ground issue. Jack W4GRJ

Re: 2m QRM
What car? New cars have so many electronics built in that they can be a problem. I have a friend with a 2007 Jeep Wrangler that horrendous noise on 2 meters and he had a bad antenna cable on his new

Re: *%& Baud rate
Yes, what HB said.? The baud rate selected uses a different pin for 1200 or 9600. The amplitude of the audio signal is different between the two, that's all I could find when searching years ago.

Re: *%& Baud rate
The packet setting should be set to 9600 baud. It has nothing to do with the CAT baud rate. Make sure your 6 pin data cable is wired for the 9600 baud pin on the 857. Some cables have both the 1200

Re: *%& Baud rate
Option 19 sets the CAT baud rate. The options are 4800, 9600, and 38400. Optipn 73 sets the packet baud rate. The options are 1200 and 9600. I'm not sure which one VARA Wide uses. Randy (KE5EOT,

Re: *%& Baud rate
There is a menu setting to change baud rate. Refer to the menu settings in the user manual. If memory serves me correctly, you only have selection of 4800, 19200 and 38400
