Re: menu 59 missing RMT Option
Are you setting menu 59 while the MH-36 is connected?
According to the manual
Before connecting the MH-59 A8J , you must instruct the FT-857’s microprocessor that the MH-59 A8J is being used.

Re: menu 59 missing RMT option
Hi,
The older FT-857 supports the MH-59a8j microphone.? FYI:? The remote microphone was released at the same time as the original FT-857.
If the FT-857 doesn't show the RMT option under Menu 59 it means the radio isn't sensing the MH-58a8j microphone.? Do the keys on the microphone light up orange when the radio is on?? If not make sure to "firmly" plug in the cable to the radio.? On my radio it's a VERY firm fit that is compounded by the tight space to work with.

Re: menu 59 missing RMT option
If RMT does not appear in menu 59 between NOR and CAT, I suspect it means you have an early FT-857 and not the later FT-857D.

Re: Who can repair FT-857?
I sent mine to Yaesu in California recently. I received an e-mail that it is in the queue for repair. How long they will take, I don't know.

The radio transmits on HF and VHF fine, and receives FM wide band commercial stations, but it does not receive on HF or VHF.
Do you know anyone I could send the radio to for repair?

Re: Who can repair FT-857?
I had a guy Byron Campbell WA4GEG repair a Yaesu for me some years ago. He says he does not do the 857. He did list others on his page who work on different model Yaesu's.? He gave the name Andy Ruggiero WD8BWW who does work on 857's. You can contact him at: andyit@.... You can look at Byron's page and see the other names of repair facilities. Good Luck

Re: YT-100, SignaLink and Computer connections for FT-8
OK.. Update... After conferencing with a friend I figured out that the CAT connection that the YT-100 tuner uses is different than the 6 pin connector the SignaLink uses.? Got it all connected last evening and made contacts on FT-8 and FT-4 on 20m.? Proving once again that somewhere someone else already had this question or issue and solved it.? Thanks for the group!!? 73? de NZ5TX

YT-100, SignaLink and Computer connections for FT-8
I have a FT-857D in my go kit, have the YT-100 auto tuner and have been using this with HRD on a laptop.? I want to run digital FT-8 with this setup but don't see how to have both the YT-100 and SignaLink in line with the computer.? The YT-100 has a pass through feature but the SignaLink does not.
Any advise?
Thanks in Advance.

Re: Switching on/off my FT-857D
ALWAYS, call Yaesu Tech Support before doing any resets. It may be a simple problem that can be corrected without loosing all your data you have storied in the radio. Its a free service.

When I push the Power ON/OFF to switch off the radio, the front panel stop displaying the informations from the VFO but don't switch off totally the radio. The LCD is still illuminated !
And switching on again don't bring the display back. The only solution is to switch off the power supply.
The problem is I need sometimes to switch on/off again several time the power supply to get the radio running again.
I think in no time, I won't be able to switch on again the radio 
Any suggestion about what to check ? Many thanks in advance, 73 de Thierry, F4GVO

Re: Switching on/off my FT-857D
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the tips.
as I use the speration kit YSK-857 in my
shack, the idea was to connect back the little RJ-45 cable to
the radio instead of the long one. After reading your message, I
disconnect the radio from the power supply and this morning it
is working perfectly !
I am relieve !
