Re: Cables for FT-857 with Armoloq
You have it correct. I used right-angle BNC adapters plus 12 inch jumpers. I ran RG316 for HF and RG58 for the UHF/VHF connection but it may not matter given the short length. There is enough slack to where which way you face the bulkhead mount shouldn't matter. Happy to take pictures if you need them.

Re: Cables for FT-857 with Armoloq
This is the frame and the BNC connection(s) are up on the front. Though looking at their picture, I actually reversed the small angle piece and have it facing forward a bit more. Not sure why I didn't bother to look at their image before in more detail.?  I'll hang my head a bit in shame now as I pretty much answered my question now.....? ?:)

Re: Cables for FT-857 with Armoloq
No, I need about a 1 foot long jumper to bring the antenna connections from the back of the radio up to the face plate area. I am going to order two jumpers and think a 1 foot long would work but am hoping someone can confirm. I'll reach out to Armoloq but with it being a holiday weekend, figured they wouldn't answer.?

Nice clean well looked after radio from non smoking shack. Has only a little use and is sitting idle, needs a new home.
Comes with hand mic and power cord. First 600 euro takes it. Shipping price has to be worked out. Radio is in the EU.
Thank you,

Is there an archive to get the last free version of hamradiodeluxe, the version which does not damage the FT857D EEPROM?? I use a version from 2008 and am concerned it will cause a problem as this one does modify the AGC register. Thanks, Andrew N3LCW

Well?nearly?all band - they don't cover the UK 4m (70MHz) band, nor I believe the USA 220MHz band.

One may use an MFJ “Jim Handy” accessory to send what sounds like CW on 2 mtrs FM. I’ve done it for years to teach CW on FM analog repeaters.

Yes, you can. That is one reason why the FT-8XX radios are amazing. They are truly all band ALL mode.

Re: Old HRD version (prior to 6.3.0.410) may damage. 857
+ From an engineering perspective, the sentence
"Since the lifetime of the EEPROM in the typical '817 is likely to be closer to 10 million writes, the actual figure is likely to be more like 4 months of constant rewriting."
+ is nothing but wishful thinking, written by someone who is not a design engineer. The EEPROM specification guarantees 1 million writes. One cannot make assumptions about the write budget being any higher than that. It might be higher in some EEPROM chips, but might also be exactly 1 million writes in some other EEPROM chips.
+ The first rule of logic design is "never assume that a part will perform better than what is claimed in its specification."
73,
Dave, AA6YQ
"Won't I wear out my EEPROM?"
The '817 uses an EEPROM to store nonvolatile data. This means that every time you change a setting or a band, updated information is written to the EEPROM.
As it turns out, EEPROMs have a limited number of "write" cycles before they literally "wear out." Typically, the lifetime is 1 million writes. Under "good" conditions, however (i.e. normal room temperature, normal voltage conditions) typical EEPROMs will withstand 10 million or more writes before they start to fail... According to the manufacturer, at least...
What does this mean, then?
For 1 million writes to occur, you would have to do the same thing to cause a write to the same address, once per second for 11 days: You are likely to wear out the button before you wear out the EEPROM. Since the lifetime of the EEPROM in the typical '817 is likely to be closer to 10 million writes, the actual figure is likely to be more like 4 months of constant rewriting.
A computer, however, won't get tired as easily. If your program does 10 writes per second, you may want to reconsider how it operates if you are concerned about the EEPROM's lifetime: Do the math!
So probably PC generated re-occurring write's for some silly reason.
Manual writes would take much longer according to your source.
