Re: CAT update blocked during TX
Hello Yono, I tried it here, and indeed, the 857 will not accept frequency change commands by CAT during transmit. I am pretty sure the CAT interface itself functions, as I use CAT command to switch

CAT update blocked during TX
Dear all, While qso with a friend that uses a FT-857 thru a linear satellite, I noticed he always drifts upwards. He said GQRX was not updating the freq while TX and he has to release the PTT button

<Announcement> 2M 440MHz added to the 100W 10-80M loop
There is now a 2M & 440MHz loop integrated into the model 100W 10-80M MagLoop. A most excellent choice for the 857 that also supports VHF UHF & HF. See - Loops & MagLoops (

Re: Quickly change power levels
You should be able to program one of the screen menu buttons (Menu 065 - 067) or the mic buttons (068 - 070) as RF power set (Menu 075).? It would make it easy to quickly bring up that setting.

I did that, but put the grounding wire on a switch Mick SA4MDN

Re: Quickly change power levels
Grounding the brown wire in the power connector would drop maximum output to 10W. Leonard K. Pennock AD7AS Those who walk bravely through life, unafraid of loss or failure, find that they very rarely

Quickly change power levels
Hi. My Dad has a FT-857d and has recently installed an external amplifier which needs a drive level of around 20W. So we are looking for a convient? (fast) way to switch the rig from full power out

Eric, I must be losing my mind.... I've got this thread being started by VK2DHV (who according to the ACMA database is David). All good - Stay safe. Cameron

Re: Another newbie question - programming frequencies
I guess I was just commenting that you can store any frequency in memory via CHIRP. If the radio is receive-only on non-ham frequencies, it will still store it but for receive only. If you do the

Re: FT-857 power connector
I don't understand how the plug that came with the FT857 and two others on cables I have purchased elsewhere can all have faults. As I mentioned, all these plugs fit just fine on the FT897D and the

Re: Another newbie question - programming frequencies
Thanks everyone. There is no value in me doing this if I can't transmit and receive on those frequencies. I understood that in an "emergency" situation (which in reality is the only time I would do

Re: Another newbie question - programming frequencies
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

Re: Another newbie question - programming frequencies
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
