Re: FT857D replaced with a 891
Try transmitting at lower power and see if it has any problems. If it doesn't then check the voltage at the DC connector going into the radio and make sure you are getting excessive Voltage drop under load. Your symptoms matches what my FT950 which is only rate at -10% (compared to the -15% your rated for) does when I exceed 40W on battery.

The 1st thing I would do is unplug the antenna. If it goes away, it's probably not your radio or a power issue coming in on the power cable.
If it doesn't go away, then I would kill the power to the house and start turning things on 1 breaker at a time. If the mouse is coming from your home, that will help you identify what it is.
Hope this helps.

Re: HELP: Hidden/Service menu: I'm trapped
CHIRP does not back up the hidden menu. The only way I've dealt with them is to store all the values in a spreadsheet when I buy the radio, then set them to that value if they somehow get changed.
