FT-857D stuck in Fast Tuning mode


 

Good day.

My FT-857 seems to have become stuck in the fast tuning mode for a few
weeks now. Pressing the Power or Fst mic button does not return the radio
to normal tuning speed.

I don't really want to do a reset if possible.

Anyone else ever experienced this behaviour and have a solution?

If you are using the MH-59 Mic just press the Orange button 1 time that will take you out of fast mode on tuning. Make sure your setting for the Mic SEL # 59 is set to RMT when using the MH-59.

save your memory from the radio before you attempt a reset and just try the soft reset before you try the hard one

Check for stuck buttons on the radio and/or on the mic.
It happens more than you think and will cause a few or more options to not work.

Finally found the problem over the weekend. The "Lock" key had been
pressed causing the momentary press of the Fst button to be ignored even
though it was still recognised for powering tghe radio on and off.
