I recently saved a FT-857 from the trash pile and found that the radio appeared to have gone through hard and soft resets. After programming in local repeaters, the radio seems to work fine. Searches

Re: Latest version of the service manual?
I used the "Contact Us" tab at Yaesu.com and requested technical help, filled in the form. I was contacted by email and ordered the correct service manual. 73

Latest version of the service manual?
Hi! I am currently thinking about "swapping" my 13 year old unit for a new one. The swap would only cost me about 150 bucks... But first, I?d like to take a closer look at the changes YAESU made over

Re: Using Rigblaster Advantage
David, as another MARS member, the only times that I have encountered this using a SignaLink is when the speed of transmission is too high for band conditions. Try reducing your transmission speed one

Re: FT 857 Question NJ9Q
Is there a low power "Tune" function. There is a workaround for that. My LDG YT-100 uses the AM mode as low power. Another low power function is on the DC in the power socket, ground the brown wire,

Re: increasing intermittent static when squelch is open.
I agree that it sounds like a filter issue. About five years ago (give or take a couple of years?) a guy on this list came up with a very clever and simple way of replacing the filters without

Re: increasing intermittent static when squelch is open.
Cool. Thank you very much. I spent a large quantity of my spare cash on buying it a couple of years ago and since then things have gone downhill a bit with my finances. I really didn't want to spend

Re: increasing intermittent static when squelch is open.
He is most probably correct, the IF filters. CF1005 typically gets changed for SSB/CW issues but CF1002 and CF1003 for FM do not and they suffer the same damage as CF1005 does from having voltage

increasing intermittent static when squelch is open.
Lately I've found my 857 to have increasing intermittent static when I'm listening to people talk on VHF. It's clear and readable when I first turn it on and then gradually the static builds up till I

Re: FT 857 Question NJ9Q
Is that on a straight FT-857? I checked mine. Menu 075 adjust power on all modes. Turning down on one mode, reduces power on other modes. Marius Swart

Re: CW mode outputs lower power
Ditto on the menu setting. Each mode has a power setting, I'm not sure which resets actually do reset the power levels. Check ALC, rf back into the radio will cause similar. There are several things

Re: FT 857 Question NJ9Q
Put me on the list for CW Low Power. The radio can handle a little reflection at full power so at its lowest setting that drives your tuner should be more than safe. I've had my '857 for seems lime 15

Re: FT 857 Question NJ9Q
switch mode to AM. Unless you use AM, leave power set to lowest setting. The radio remembers power setting per mode. Leonard K. Pennock (AD7AS)

Re: CW mode outputs lower power
No! Surely not, don't tell me they're breeding!

Re: CW mode outputs lower power
Just a guess... Put the radio into CW mode and set the power. Maybee, just maybe the power setting can be set from the menu per mode? I have an idea that the power for each mode can be set? If not get

FT 857 Question NJ9Q
Is there a "Tune" function available? What's the best way to transmit while adjusting a manual antenna tuner. Just got this rig and love it. John NJ9Q
