Re: Random factory reset

 

Pull fuses and re-seat them several times - blade fuses are self-wiping when you do this. Why? Fuses? will get oxides on the blades that will cause? voltage drops. I have witnessed this myself.

Too bad a simple Reed-Solomon subroutine, built in, couldn’t solve this dilemena.

The volatile part part of software can be corrupted by RF getting into the radio, common mode currents etc. Doing a reset is a good thing although it's annoying but warns you there is possibly an external problem.

Re: Random factory reset

 

Typical mobile installation. 12v direct from the battery/ground. Remote head. No tuner. Only connected (at the time) for vhf/uhf. Been installed like this since July of last year and no problems. Rotate it the radio b/t three vehicles and last programmed it via CHIRP 5 years ago and never saw anything like this before.
Re: Random factory reset

 

Tim,
I have 3 and have never had that happen that I can remember, give us a bit more info on your set-up may be helpful, I.E. power hookup are you running a tuner and so on.

Random factory reset

 

While driving yesterday and monitoring my 857d, it randomly performed a factory reset without any input from me whatsoever. I contacted Yaesu and they asked if I used CHIRP to program it and they indicated that can cause problem, even years later. While I did use CHIRP to program, it was about 5 years ago and have had no problems since then.
?
Has anyone else ever experienced a random factory reset like this? Any other potential cause?

Here is my version of the problem:

3. pressing power button? clears everything
4. pressing power button resumes normal opertion
5. display? reads? 13.6V? += .1 V

Suspect - lousy / lossy power connector - not surprising.

Re: FT857 remote operation?

 

Bart,

I connect to the radio with a USB dongle made doe the Yeasu Radios. It works with my laptop. When I connected it to my Android phone via an OTB cable he com port is detected but I cannot control with the pRXTX free version. HAs anyone controlled their Yaeus Ft-817, 818, 857 or 897 with the free version?

I downloaded pRXTX free and installed in my Samsung Phone. I tested with my FT-817. The app comes up and detected the CAT com port but I cannot control the radio.. Does the free version control the radio? CAT port works with FTBasic.

I'd test with my FT-857 but it is in my portable field bag downstairs :-)

"Can ordinary STP CAT-6a cable be just plugged in to the RJ-45 jack?"

Yes, as long as it is wired straight thru,?
