Switching on/off my FT-857D

Thierry All Messages By This Member #52629 开云体育 Hi folks, For the very first time, my old FT-857D is messing around. When I push the Power ON/OFF to switch off the radio, the front panel stop displaying the informations from the VFO but don't switch off totally the radio. The LCD is still illuminated ! And switching on again don't bring the display back. The only solution is to switch off the power supply. The problem is I need sometimes to switch on/off again several time the power supply to get the radio running again. I think in no time, I won't be able to switch on again the radio Any suggestion about what to check ? Many thanks in advance, 73 de Thierry, F4GVO

There should be virtually no difference in power supply voltage. ? ? ? Regards, Tony F. VA7TF?

Thierry All Messages By This Member #52637 开云体育 Hi Alex, Thanks for the tips. as I use the speration kit YSK-857 in my shack, the idea was to connect back the little RJ-45 cable to the radio instead of the long one. After reading your message, I disconnect the radio from the power supply and this morning it is working perfectly ! I am relieve ! 73 de Thierry, F4GVO Le 27/07/2022 à 20:52, alexandr.seidl a écrit?: toggle quoted message Show quoted text The same issue i have many years ago.

It may be a simple problem that can be corrected without loosing all your data you have storied in the radio. Its a free service.
