Remote Mike


 

I have a Yaesu MH-59A8J on my 857D and recently added and program a new repeater into my radio and now the my buttons on my mic are red. I have checked it and the radio is not locked what would cause this?


 

The red background light on the mic buttons is normal. Was it not red before? I know some microphones have a light switch to turn it on or off, such as the MH-48A6J. But I believe the MH-59A8J doesn't have the ability to turn the backlight off.

Have you programmed any of the mic buttons?


Hope this helps.

The buttons were green before I programmed the new repeater into the rig. I did not program the buttons on the mike.?

What optional mics do you have? If they are MH-59, are you sure you have menu# 59 set to RMT?

Hank- am also having problems with my mic(s). The push to talk works, but that is all. Up/down, any of the buttons on the mic face do nothing. This is a problem with both the stock mic and 2 optional mics I bought. I know I have the menu settings correct. Have even done several hard resets with no luck. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Rich W3EK

did you turn the lock on the mic on by accident?

I have no idea, I've never seen the green buttons. I went back through the FT-857D manual as well as the MH-59 manual and tech sheet. I couldn't find anything on changing the color of the keys or why that might happen. Maybe someone else has knowledge of this?

Do they change when you change the display colour??? I can’t check mine now because it is packed (change of QTH!), but it might be worth a try.

Here are the pages for the MH59A8J Remote Microphone.I have never seen the back light on my keypad any other color than orange.?(With the exception of the light beside the AF/Sel/Dial button. That is explained in the pages attached.
Hope this helps.
