What length of coax are you using and are you using any chokes? 73, Gary K8JOK

I have not had space until now to do an 80 meter antenna. I put one up and it shows 1.2:1 SWR on 80 meters on my tuner and with my antenna analyzer, resonant on many others (EFHW, ~132 feet

3D printing is the best option as Don suggests.

You could 3D print one Don Dodge Cell 714-271-7888 W6SNX

Patricia, Happy New Year.? ? The knob on the 817 seems to be smaller than that of the 857 and it will not fit on it.? ? If you ever figure out a way to place a spinning wheel on the 857 knob,

New display is available from Yaesu for around $200. Easy to change if you can solder and unsolder. Several videos on YouTube. Did mine, works like new again There is a ham in Lees Summit No who

FYI, I did find this 817 version from a Canadian seller on ebay. I'm going to order it for my 817. When it arrives, I'll see if I can figure out if it will work with 857 or with 857 plus some

Thank you Leonard! Wishing you the best in the new year. :)

Pull the rubber cover off the knob and there is a set screw underneath you loosen to remove the knob. Leonard K. Pennock AD7AS Those who walk bravely through life, unafraid of loss or failure, find

73s and Happy New Year! I love the idea of putting a Finger Dimple Kranker Knob for my 857 (and also my 817).?These are discontinued and rare as hen's teeth, and AFAIK there are no modern

A different approach to an antenna for mobile.? Look at my QST article, January 2010 page 46.? My ATAS has been on the roof of the car for the past 14 yrs.? No problems73 SkipW1fTE?

Hi Jim, I've owned two FT-857's at the same time, and about 5 other rigs that I have run mobile at one time or another. When I bought my first FT-857 in about 2002, I also bought a small-ish mag

Not in stock now! FT-857’s seem to have a cult like following. Oh yeah, I guess I’m a member! Happy New Year and thanks to all of you for being out there! 73 de KM6WWY

Hello all Just FYI, as of last week HRO Anaheim had new control heads (part # AAG53X001) in stock for the FT-857/857D. Not cheap ($359.95 plus tax) but better than zebra stripes or worse! 73 de Bill

Thank you Dave - I have 'replied' to another comment with some tests I ran.

Thank you. Some experiments: The ‘less often’ - is still often enough that it isn’t useful. My rig is in a travel trailer - currently the antenna is a mag mount vertical on top of a water

The Digirig also lacks any galvanic isolation of the audio or USB data interfaces. It is a compromise designed to be small and portable. I have had good luck with XGGCOMMS interfaces. They have a bit

A quick way to diagnose the problem is to turn your transmit power down temporarily.? I've also seen that FT-857's are much more sensitive to RF around the radio, whether it comes from cables or

The FT-857 radios are notorious for RFI issues. Make sure you have plenty of ferrites and good grounding. You should probably be using premium cables. Gaston, the Techprepper on Youtube I believe

Set *up was working fine. Then it started failing. With FT8 on WSJTX or Winlink - at some point (I think on end of transmit) the radio would turn off and on again - sometimes repeatedly... I tried it
