FT 857 Question NJ9Q

[email protected]
 

Is there a "Tune" function available?? What's the best way to transmit while?adjusting a manual antenna tuner.


Just got this rig and love it.

switch mode to AM. Unless you use AM, leave power set to lowest setting. The radio remembers power setting per mode.

Put me on the list for CW Low Power.?

The radio can handle a little reflection at full power so at its lowest setting that drives your tuner should be more than safe. I've had my '857 for seems lime 15 years and I've never had a problem with this.

Congrats on the radio! If you have the funds, get yourself one of the SSB filters and watch the receiver come to life ;]

Is that on a straight FT-857? I checked mine. Menu 075 adjust power on all modes. Turning down on one mode, reduces power on other modes.

Is there a low power "Tune" function.

There is a workaround for that. My LDG YT-100 uses the AM mode as low power. Another low power function is on the DC in the power socket, ground the brown wire, then all modes will go low power. The DC cable option is useful for a battery lead, then using another lead for mains supply without the brown wire grounded for mains power supply lead. This achieves auto QRP for portable battery use.
