Hi Paul.
No worries on my name, many people also choose to spell it with an 'e', but I don't.
I don't look anything like that famous Mouse...
I also have just received my FT-847, my best friend had one that his widow agreed to sell to me after he passed away in July. She had sold it to someone else before I got down there with the money. Anyway, I finally found one, and am currently putting it thru it's paces to see if everything is working OK. I am able to program memories using the FTBasicMMO software just fine now, thanks again for the tip. You will need the software if you choose to program the memories for SAT use, (not REALLY necessary, but it helps a lot!) makes crossband programming a lot easier. I don't have the AZ/EL rotor and antennas necessary yet for satellite use, that is probably the last thing I will work towards this year.
I am not sure about the 4M mod, how would I check to see if it is enabled? Is there a setting in the extended menus for that or does it require pulling the covers off?
