Reset is the last resource.

The first that should be done with any issue with FT857 behaving oddly is to remove all cables from radio, leave it be for at least 30 minutes and then connect power and mic only and power it up.

In many cases that alone helps.

Before trying a reset:
- Power Down or disconnect the DC source from the transceiver?

- disconnect every cable from the?transceiver < VERY IMPORTANT

- reconnect ONLY the DC and attempt to Power Up?

Good luck!
