My FT-847 won't transmit on 80m


Dave K?EKL
 

I have an 847 that I use almost exclusively for VHF/UHF week signal work and for satellites but it got pressed into service for our local club's Field Day this last weekend.

It performed perfectly on 10, 15, 20, and 40 but when trying to transmit on 80 meters the display reads "ERROR". This happens whether the radio is set for CW, SSB, AM or FM and it doesn't seem to matter is PTT is asserted via the DATA IN or PKT connectors, the footswitch connector, or the front panel mic connector. Again, only 80m is effected.?

I know from reviewing the manual that the radio will display ERROR if one tries to transmit out of band but I was testing on 3.850 MHz.?

Has anyone seen this before and if so what's the resolution?

Thanks de K?EKL
