I have used the Jetstream JTPS32MAB 32-amp power supply w/Anderson Connectors for 5 years, on pretty much daily for anywhere between an hour or two to 24+ hours at a time connected to an IC-7300,

Samlex SEC-1223 or Powerwerk SS-30DV are both physically small switching power supplies that will provide all the power you need for the 857 and other 100W HF radios. Leonard K. Pennock AD7AS Those

Hi folks. I have 6x 12v10Ah batteries that I rotate in my go-pack, and I have a dedicated LiFePo4 charger to top them off. I attach my radio's powerpoles directly to the batteries and can switch them
Re: FT857D not pushing more then 40 watts on transmit
I think those tests suggested have confirmed that the test are the average and using FM confirms the radio is pushing 100 watts as it is supposed to do.? It was an educational moment and I appreciate

Re: FT857D not pushing more then 40 watts on transmit
Your meters are probably measuring average power and not reflected power. That output is pretty normal for SSB, but you can probably tweak some more. To see full power use FM or digital, but be sure

Re: 857 radio does a reset when transmitting on 80m, works fine on all other freq 40-10
I have had similar situations on the lowest band of my portable EFHW setup from time to time depending on coax length and the particular setup. The "cure" has been to install a counterpoise. By
