Hissing could be a lot of things, such as electric fences, bad power supplies, bad fluorescent ballasts, and many other things.
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: Missing Hidden Menu Items
When I first hook the 857 d up everything was working fine. Cat control frequency, everything at work for a couple 3 weeks and then one day all of a sudden nothing changed that I know of and it just stopped working and it hasn't worked since. That's why I'm trying to figure out what might have happened?

Re: Missing Hidden Menu Items
Hi Maurice,
when yoi do a reset, you then need to go into menu 1 and set it on so that all menus are available as the default is to have a reduced menu set available.

which may affect yet a third value, and so forth.

Re: Missing Hidden Menu Items
Extended Menu's can be accessed by enabling Menu 001.
Hidden Menu's can be accessed by starting with the radio off; press and hold buttons A, B, and C at the same time and while pressing the power button.
Hope this helps,

WTB - FT-857 Control Head
The control head for my 857 was damaged in an accident, I am looking for a replacement if anyone has one (or a parts radio with a good head).? It is not the "D" model, not sure if that makes a difference for the head unit.
Thanks!

Re: ATAS-120a install with K-400 Mount
Hello Robert;
? ? ? That is a Great Idea.? I have a height Restriction where I live and Shop.? So I mount my Antenna (K-400) on the Left Side of the Downward Curve of the Front Hood.? I live in a Very Low Parking area, Antenna will hit the Top Half of the Whip of the ATAS-120a. and Shopping at the Mall with a Low Ceiling. So If I go to the Mall I must plan to remove the antenna before I go to the Mall. Remove antenna before going to park my Hummer at home.? Since I mounted to antenna on the front hood with the Diamond K-400 their is very little movement now and Swr of 1.2to1 across the operating FReq of ATAS-120a.  | ? | |  |

Looks like the H3 has a tire mount on the back. I have made mounts of sheet steel that mounts between the tire and mount, goes above the tire and bends back at 90'. I then used standard mounts for the antenna.?
You could just eave it with a vertical post and attach the K400 to it.?

Re: ATAS-120a install with K-400 Mount
Take a small strip of aluminum between the mount and your trunk to increase the thickness, that should stop the flex.?

Re: ATAS-120a install with K-400 Mount
Priority is to bind any horizontal surface to the chassis with briad that has a large surface area. You need to include the exhaust as well if it is an ICE powered vehicle.

Re: ATAS-120a install with K-400 Mount
HELLO Don;
????? I am Driving a Hummer H3 2008.? I have Used Grounding Braid on all Doors, Rear Door, and Hood.? The Antenna Is located on the Left Side, Rear of Hood. Can not install
on Top of Vehicle because Parking Issues. I am using Diamond K-400, ATAS-120a with the Yaesu FT-857. I checked the Ground from Body to Chassis. Also Grounding Braid from Chassis to body also installed
