By the way, this site is ending soon. No one will have any access to
it in the near future. K4AX You missed spam posts across multiple Ham Radio email lists. That is fortunate for you. You have posted to groups.io. I understand that Yahoo is going away, but had not heard bad news about groups.io. Liz VK2XSE

Hello! Ericssons custom support does not understand the word "support". But I took a hammer and tried to remove the case with it. It worked! Inside I found a burned selenium rectifier, I replaced it with two diodes and the rotor works now. The strange thing I discovered is the rotor requires 120 V. This was a surprise, I did not expect it from a German company. The transformer is a little hot, it is probably designed for 60 Hz. But it will work intermittently so it is not a problem.
Now I can put my new Yagi on the top of my mast. Peter SA0PRW

Looks like Kathrein has become?Ericsson Antenna Technology.? Their webpage does not have any info I could find. You might try contacting?their customer support.? Good luck! 73 Buzz KD4CXI

While I am not sure of the bylaws of this group, being a new user to the 857d, I find the posts helpful. Perhaps you could just elect not to read his posts.

HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT HAM RADIO PROBLEMS: RADIO-WAVE FREQUENCY AND POWER
Some RF problems occur when RF isn¡¯t going where it¡¯s supposed to go. These problems generally are caused by a bad or missing cable, connector, or switching device (a switch or relay) that needs to be replaced. Try fixing these problems with the following suggestions:

FT-857 & ATAS on 2020 Ford Ranger
It was time to say good bye to my 2002 Tacoma SR5. It had a very functional and efficient set up for my 857 and ATAS 120. I am looking for the best way to install the rig on a new Ranger and would be interested in any lessons learned from someone who has already set up in a Ranger.?
Appreciate any thoughts you might care to share.

I have hooked the ground to the same point the battery connects to the chassis and the problem is resolved now.

Hi Doug,
Alternatively, there are a number of apps for smart phones which will generate the DTMF tones and you can just hold the phone up to the microphone and do it that way.
There also used to be little pocket DTMF generators which were used to control older telephone answering machines which could also be used.

No. You will need either of the following.
MH-36 E8J DTMF Microphone
MH-59 A8J Remote Control Microphone
Most people like the Remote Control mic due to the extra functionality it provides.

Rather than hook the ground to the battery, hook it to the same point the battery connects to the chassis and the issue cannot occur.

do away with the fuse in the negative line not needed It kind of is.
In an automotive situation if the battery negative to chassis connection fails it's possible a *lot* of current will try and find its way home via the radio. It's not a likely situation but is possible. Having said that I only use one fuse on mobile rigs and no fuses at all on my bush radio but simply a 1m lead to a battery.
