Re: It's a surprise!
I forgot to add that I sent them a pic I took with my phone of the label at the bottom of the radio with all the info.

Re: It's a surprise!
Yep. That's what I did when I wasn't sure, and they promptly emailed back
with the good news that the 857 I had been gifted was actually an 857D.

Re: It's a surprise!
Juan,
How did you communicate with them? Phone, email?
Did you just call and ask, maybe give them a serial number?
I have the same question, need to follow up too.
Tnx,

It's a surprise!
I'll be darned. Yaesu tech support just informed me that what I bought is
actually the 857D. No wonder it doesn't have the DSP slot. Made my day! ?

Re: Factory head cable
Forgot to ask, how long is the OEM head cable? 6 in, or shorter?

Re: Factory head cable
Yes. It is a straight through 6 pin modular cable that has been used for decades on multi-line phone systems.

Factory head cable
Is the factory head control cable a straght-through RJ6 modular? The radio I bought came with the extended cable but not the small one to connect the head while attached to the body.

Re: Filters
If one were using the radio as an exciter with a transverter for higher bands, for such as EME, yes, I'd be tempted to put one in. Most folks dial about, and many of the modern data protocols display

Re: No DSP-2 socket?
I'd like to add... Are you sure you got a North American 857?
I have an early 857D, I recall that for a few months back then someone was
selling 857's at a ridiculously low price, it turned out that
