Re: FT-857D not breaking 2m repeater squelch

Try a real antenna!?

?

My 857d seems to have a problem. This is the first time I have tried VHF with this radio. I have programed it as follows...

Rx:146.730 -0.6 MHz
PL: 107.2
Antenna: portable from my HT via coax
Power: 5w
Tone is on and offset is good.

Note: this radio has been modified for all-band operations.

From my shack with the HT on low power I can access the repeater no issues. I put the HT antenna on the 857D and I cannot break the squelch. I can hear the outbound signal on my HT reverse so I know the radio is transmitting. While just sitting there I can hear conversations on the repeater with the 857D. Just cannot break the repeater's input squelch.

The radio seems straight forward to program for 2m repeater operation. So I believe I have it setup correctly. Maybe I am missing something.

Has anyone had similar issues with VHF repeater operations?

Thanks,

Re: Broke my ATAS-120A

 

Look on Youtube. There are a couple of good videos on disassembly and reassembly of ATAS. Sorry, I do not know them offhand. You'll have to search--but they are easy to find. Just use the terms: ATAS120A and disassembly. K6DBF


Re: Broke my ATAS-120A

 

On my website, I have the technical supplement and the Illustrated Parts Breakdown for the ATAS-120A. They're not instructions, but they do give you insight to the inside and layout of the antenna.

https://www.hamradio.hanklambert.com/my-gear/antennas/yaesu-atas-120a

Hope this helps. Good luck!

FT 817,857, 897 transfomers needed

 

I am searching following transformers from one of the above mentioned TRX .


FT857/897 T 1001 = FT817 T 3001, L0022552

FT857/897 T 1002 = FT817 T 3005, L0022642A

FT857/897 T 1003 = FT817 T 3004, L0022641A


The parts are the same in all 3 devices but have a different numbers in FT817. (T300X)


If anyone have a slaughtered one of these models and be able to part with the transformers, please send PM



Thank you

Re: FT-857D stuck in Fast Tuning mode

 

Finally found the problem over the weekend. The "Lock" key had been
pressed causing the momentary press of the Fst button to be ignored even
though it was still recognised for powering tghe radio on and off.

Good day.

My FT-857 seems to have become stuck in the fast tuning mode for a few
weeks now. Pressing the Power or Fst mic button does not return the radio
to normal tuning speed.

I don't really want to do a reset if possible.

Anyone else ever experienced this behaviour and have a solution?

Re: FT-857D stuck in Fast Tuning mode

 

Check for stuck buttons on the radio and/or on the mic.
It happens more than you think and will cause a few or more options to not work.

If you are using the MH-59 Mic just press the Orange button 1 time that will take you out of fast mode on tuning. Make sure your setting for the Mic SEL # 59 is set to RMT when using the MH-59.

save your memory from the radio before you attempt a reset and just try the soft reset before you try the hard one

My FT857D has an issue where the vox turns on by itself, usually when first turning on the radio.

Have you tried any of the reset procedures? Sometimes it can correct issues, but not always.

I have heard others reporting odd things like this.

John, If the instruction in manual page 24 fails, I would try the A=B key, then the A/B key to see what happened.??? As I recall the [C] is a toggle though haven’t used ever on the 857D.? Regards, Phil / K4PO

Okay Joe, No harm done though you did receive several great ideas.? I did the K400 mount on Acura MDX (fancy Honda, LOL) with great result.?? The really good news is, near as I can tell without owning each, the AT-120 functions with all Yaesu rigs since the 857/897.?? Now using with FT-991 including 2meter C4FM.?? Enjoy, Phil / K4PO
