Hi Stewart, Although you can program in any frequency to receive, you may not use the radio to transmit as it is not a type approved radio for transmitting outside the Amateur bands in Australia.

David, The specific answer to your question is YES however... I'd (strongly) suggest the 'legalities' can not be sorted as you are suggesting. Have a good read of the Radiocommunications Act in

Yes, but if he wants to listen to various frequencies without having to tune to them each time, the rig will accept any frequency in its range for receive only. I am never going to transmit on LF NDB

Although technically possible your amateur rig, FT 857, will never be permitted to Tx on those commercial frequencies, sorry, you will need a commercially approved radio. -- Compton VK2HRX Sydney,

Yes, I have all sorts of frequencies programmed into mine via CHIRP. LF NDB's, broadcast band, various shortwave stations, the local NOAA weather on 162.55 MHz, etc. They all work fine. 73, Zack W9SZ

You can certainly program those frequencies, although it will not transmit o nthose without a modification to open up the transmit.? Just program them like a regular frequency as it has 500 Khz to 30

Is it possible to program non HAM frequencies into an 857 using something like CHIRP? In Australia we have HF networks which cater for remote area 4WD travel. They license frequencies off the

Hullo Zack, Most interesting. I've read the suggestions posted thus far. A thought, simply because a connector works on the FT-897 you have, and works with one doesn't mean that it hasn't adjusted

A couple of times my FT-897 flashes the frequency and mode portion of the screen.? If I power off and on, it clears.? The frequency displayed is a random HF frequency. This has happened when I was

I have opened the unit, and re-tightened all the bolts that hold the PCB's Most seemed OK, but some could be turned a little. Tested it, and until now (2 days) I haven't seen the fault re-appearing,

I experienced a similar situation where the ALC display would max out on 6m when operating digital modes and the supply voltage displayed on the rig would drop to approx 9 volts, but the voltage

Thanks all, Will give it a try next week. I will post results when done 73 Peter/PA3FQH

I remember this issue coming up on the group from time to time, over the years.? So far as I remember, it's usually caused by a loose screw holding the PCB to the chassis which isn't making good

One has to wonder why the connector is made and broken apart so much that this wear takes place. Andersons were installed at the opposite end so that there was minimal need to make and break the

I seem to recall that one way to do something about this is to open up the rig, then clean all the grounding points for the circuit boards, tighten all the screws securing the cct boards or improve

It is known that the 857 tents to have spurious oscillations once in a while. I think it is a feedback from the filters into the first stages of the RF generation. What I suggest is: - remove top and

Howdy! I've got an 857d, and the connector on the radio side of my power plug had a similar issue; turns out that the metal pins inside the plastic connector weren't fully seated because they'd worn

Hello All, Since a couple of days I have an annoying problem when operating 6m, I have the power output limited to 30W, but sometimes I see the A-meter of my PSU going all the way up while

It's your rig, carry-on... John VE7KKQ

I want to be able to restore the rig to its original condition if I sell it. 73, Zack W9SZ
