Re: VOX Comes On When Powering Up
Is it in the VOX, or is it in the keying line?? Does it occur when nothing is connected? With the mike? My first thought is a leaky bypass cap.

VOX Comes On When Powering Up
Hi All,
The VOX on one of my 857d s comes on when I power in up, even after turning the VOX off in menu?MFd and the VOX Gain in menu 88 to 1.?? This doesn't happen until it has been off for about 45 minutes.? If I turn it off then power-up immediately?this doesn't happen.? Any Ideas?
Thanks, John K6JMQ

Hello John - ?Thank you for these tips. I just went to the service menu and my carrier level?reading was 138. I reduced it to 100 and now the ALC reading on transmit kicks up to two or three segments instead of "pinning" out, like before, regardless of the mike gain setting for AM. I have a friend who will get on tomorrow and I will ask him to listen?to me on AM an see if there is an improvement.??

Re: FT857 data out jack directly to usb
Well.....it turns out the cable and menu settings on my FT857 were all good after all. Found out I had the wrong setting for the output from my laptop and that prevented the signal going back to the 857. Back to digital modes I go.

FT857 data out jack directly to usb
Hello.? First note to group so here it goes!? Has anyone taken the data out jack from the 857 and connected it directly to usb for digital control via the computer on PSK, FT8 or other modes?? If so, what are your menu settings for the rig.? I can get mine to receive the info from the rig via this connection but can't get the computer to send an outgoing message on any digital mode.? I use at the computer two phono jacks which plug into a Sabrent phono to usb connector.? This cable goes back to the 857 data in connection.? Any help out there?? Thanks.? jerry n9ac

HTEMP-THRESHOLD - What does it mean?
Regarding #73 and #74 in the hidden menu, i like to know what's the meaning of HTEMP-THRESHOLD (38) and FTEMP-THRESHOLD (102) just out of curiosity.?
I know this thresholds are responsible for the fans to kick in.
But what does each threshold do of their own?

I did this once...hit the lock button when aiming for the band switch.? Took me awhile to figure out why nothing worked.

Did you "lock" the radio?

Re: [Solved - Solution]FT-857D no CTCSS/PL in FM repeater operation
Hello,
thank you for solving this issue. I have exactly the same problem and was ready to take it to a tech for fixing it.
I am so glad it was just a menu adjustment.
How did you figure this out?
Is this an issue on all FT-857D or just some?
Well, I am so happy today!!!
Cheers

I used the 857 on 10 and 6 meters.? Of course WWV listening and it worked fine, no reports of audio issues.? Just over the years the through hole issues on the PCB in the AM mode.

Start on page 48 of the user manual and it
tells you how to operate the radio in AM mode for transmission.? Keep in
mind the radio is factor set to 25 watts of carrier for AM operation.?
With 100% modulation, you will peak out at about 100 watts.
