It almost sounds like wires-x is enabled, like on the FT-8800. But as far as I know, the 857 doesn't have wires-x functionality.

Re: Another look at the Yaesu FT 857D
Respectfully disagree - even dubious values discussions are better then just say "o well ... put it in bed ".
Some replies are rather typical - difference of opinions and expressions? are emphasized, instead of technical contributions of the posts.
In MY case the reply was in line with George Carlin " shell shock" monologue.
The article is IN MY opinion misrepresentation of FT857 and amateur radio hobby.
So I called it garbage.
IN MY opinion, if we do not call spade a spade , as in this case , "we have met the enemy and it is us" .
Anybody can express their opinions about FT857 , even about articles about FT 857, however when my rating of the article became MAIN subject of a reply I cannot help but ask
How did criticism of my opinion , which is none of anybody business, contributed to the "another look at FT857"?
|
Re: Need help - fuses / power issue
It would be nice to continue TECHNICAL discussion without commentaries such as this "Its not unusual for many to not understand this and why."
In the spirit of learning and not preaching , if I may continue here.
1. Give an example how this can occur , given we are still talking about single amateur radio installed in a vehicle.?
"another high current circuit opens for some reason and finds its way back to the battery through the radio and wiring."
2. Assuming that the rig in NOT isolated? from the vehicle (ground)? - fusing negative lead is relatively superfluous - it is? better and (another) KNOWN and main? path to the battery negative terminal. And if such? negative fuse blows - where woudl be the path to the negative battery terminal then ??
3. Connecting the positive lead as close as to the positive battery terminal (UK rule) AND fusing it with BETTER? fuse holder is the solution here.

Re: Another look at the Yaesu FT 857D
Pedja,
It was also posted to Radios Group.
He also posted another article on nickel based batteries to both of these groups. He hasn't responded to any of the previous comments nor has he added anything in general.
Tells me it is spam.?
ONLY my opinion, but you know what they say about opinions......

Re: Another look at the Yaesu FT 857D
To the original poster of this garbage.
Just because you have an access to mass media it does? not makes you a qualified person to write "reviews".
One has to ask
If the original poster was a sales person selling you FT 857 , would you buy it from him?

Referring to a hobby as "ham radio" may be OK for some, and NOT for others.

Subject: [FT-857] Replacement of 2sc5374 50mhz pre rx? i suspect that I have the problem of low sensivity in rx in 50 mhz band. I tried to order one 2sc5374 transistor q3034, in the usual sites of electronic components ( mouser, digikey, etc. ) but it appears as a obsolete part.
Any other cross reference as replacement?
Or, I find in ebay sellers that have this part in stock, but it can be are "fiable" original parts?

Re: Another look at the Yaesu FT 857D
OK, I did not know that, thanks for that info.
I have used my FT-857D for over 10 years mobile. I pretty much know this rig inside and out, like many of us in here. Missing the unique quirks and not understanding the intention of this rig (cross-band repeat) is a key sign that the reviewer doesn't know the radio very well.

Re: Another look at the Yaesu FT 857D
Had a couple of theses radios over the years. Installed in my company truck under the rear seat. Banged around for over 300K miles in hot/cold/dusty/vibration conditions. Turned on in the morning when leaving the motel and off when returning at the end of a 12 hour day. Thousands of restarts of the truck. Talked around the world. Worked all 13 colonies while driving from Ill to Pa. Never missed a beat.
That my friends is my review of a great radio, now lets move on.

Re: Another look at the Yaesu FT 857D
It seems article is published just to fill in gaps on the site. It cannot be called review, more mention for the sake of having some content on site.
And it seems one who wrote the article never actually used the radio and if he has any ham radio experience that is working on FM repeaters.
He praises radio for having CTCSS and DCS and can do automatic repeater shift and has 200 memory channels?!?!? Critiques radio for not having cross-band repeat?!?!?! This man really missed the point and purpose of this rig.
Of courseit has its owh bugs and quirks but he missed them all. That is something one who uses radio regularly would know.

I agree Jack, I have two FT 857D¡¯s, one in the Motorhome and the other in my every day car. I use the MH-59 DTMF microphones and control the radio from the mic. HF to UHF with eze!!! Wayne VK2DWP.
