Re: Another buttons issue, and no audio
Thanks Ronald,? That's why I was trying to be as detailed as possible.
I noted in the manual the reported effect on the S meter when turning down the gain, so I probably should have reported that

Re: Another buttons issue, and no audio
A couple clues you mentioned.
S meter at S9+++ might indicate that the RF Gain is turned down. RF gain

Re: Another buttons issue, and no audio
Yours looks to be an 857D like mine. Emailing customer support will get you

Re: Another buttons issue, and no audio
Thanks Juan,
I don't see an actual DIP (as in an IC) socket.? I do see that the module along the left chassis wall is plugged in to the main board though.? Guessing this is an 857D from the factory

Re: Another buttons issue, and no audio
If the circuit board has a DIP socket on the top of the board, lower left
as seen from the front, it is an 857. If it has a chip on the socket it's

Re: 857D Buttons Inoperative
Remove the control head again and, with a Q-tip and/or cloth saturated with Deoxit, clean any and all contacts you can get to.
That the buttons "worked for a minute" sounds to me like a possible

Re: 857D Buttons Inoperative
Try a different cable. If the problem persists your might have a bad
control head. Replacements are readily available.

Re: 857D Buttons Inoperative
Remove the control head from the chassis, disconnect the head cable and
check for dust or other debris/damage. Reconnect and ensure proper seating.

Re: How to assemble a Collins filter + Board for FT-857 and save $$$!!!
I found a filter I think I can use. Specs are 455 khz USB, 250 hz BW @ 2dB down, 3.2 khz BW @ 50 dB down, 9dB insertion loss. I bought the last one the seller had. Do these specs make sense for a CW

Ok. I will see if I can find one of those two. So far I have only found the
