I’m looking for a good HF speaker. I’m currently using the MFJ-281 which is excellent for VHF and up, and not too bad on HF. But a good HF speaker with DSP will definitely trump the MFJ-281. ? 73, ? --Hank ? ? ?

Re: cs2140401 panel screen Spare
Radioworld had 3 or 4 display panels & individual encoders last week, but they've now sold out.
Looks like this thread has spurred everyone to buy one. ?

Thanks Eric. My 857 must be a "D" model from 2010 then by the serial number# 0E200012.
I need to mod it to operate on the 60 meters channels.
The 857 sure is a great rig for being a 20 year old model.

Re: cs2140401 panel screen Spare
If Yaesu were to under cut their dealers the dealers would abandon the Yaesu product line knowing that everyone would buy direct if that will be cheaper. That would mean that the Yaesu products would not be at dealers who were selling the other product lines and in the end that would be fatal to Yaesu. Manufacturers who will sell direct, many will not, always use their Suggested Retail Price. Nobody in the industry expects people to actually buy at the Suggested Retail Price. It's a complete fiction used to make the dealer's price look better than it actually is. Let's not get into the "Fair Trade" price because that is just price fixing and it makes me mad. It is not at all unusual for the dealer price to be lower than the buy direct price.?

Re: Can anybody decode my FT-857D serial number?
Mine is 4H28xxxxx, lot 28 June 2004, so Eric is surely correct.? You have a 2014 product.?? Regards, Phil / K4PO ? ?

Re: cs2140401 panel screen Spare
Parts pricing from manufacturers is almost ALWAYS list price. If the manufacturer makes parts available to dealers they will typically provide some type of dealer discount. Dealers may provide service, so the parts are discounted to them as are products.

Hi Damian, ? A quick google search found that the original FT857 was released in 2001 and the 857D in 2003. ? I think I bought my two in about 2008 and they’re still going strong. ? 73….Eric VK2VE. ?

Subject: Re: [FT-857] Can anybody decode my FT-857D serial number?? Hi Eric,
As this series of Radio have been in production in both 2004 & 2014, I too was confused like so many others who showed up in a search.
Many thanks for this.
By the way, do you know the actual year the FT-857 hit the market, please?

Re: cs2140401 panel screen Spare
Looking at the bigger picture, I agree with all said here.
Cheers for the replies, guys. ??

Re: cs2140401 panel screen Spare
This is quite common with OEMs. You have to remember, their primary sales channels are distributors, and they want to protect those channels. If the manufacturer were to offer lower prices than their distributors (which they could do, as you point out), there would be no reason for the distributors to sell their products. This is true across many industries, perhaps all industries where distribution is not commonly direct.
It's simply a matter of business relationships, not unique to Yaesu.

Re: cs2140401 panel screen Spare
Wholesale vs Retail pricing. Being a dealer Radioworld is buying at wholesale and selling below retail. When you just call into Yaesu, they sell to you at MSRP so that the dealer that buy at wholesale can make a profit.

I know about the continuous 5% discount at Radioworld, but what I'm trying to establish is, why do Yaesu themselves (who manufacture the panel) charge significantly more than Radioworld?
Radioworld are a business so are making profit buying direct from Yaesu, so Yaesu are charging well over the odds & it makes no sense.

Re: cs2140401 panel screen Spare
You're thinking that common sense comes into play here. It might be that Radioworld have sat on some stock for a while that was bought prior to price increases! I bought a spare panel from Radioworld, it comes with the rotary encoder too, I thought it was a good investment.
Cheers, Mark.

Re: cs2140401 panel screen Spare
Radioworld almost always have a 5% off discount, either on the main screen or if you hang around on the website a bit, well worth taking advantage of for this price.

Re: cs2140401 panel screen Spare
Sorry to bump an old topic, but I deemed there no point in publishing a new post just to announce the following.
I've bought a few HF rigs & other bits from Radioworld above & have had good service each time.
I was going to purchase a spare panel from here, but thought I'd first call Yaesu UK as I presumed it would be cheaper to buy direct as opposed to from Radioworld - a web retailer.
Very wrong! Yaesu wanted ?155, so Radioworld are cheaper by quite a margin - & being a business, they'll be in profit.
What on earth is that all about when purchasing direct from Yaesu?
