Re: FT847 calibrate the V / U frequency

Yes, of course it is.
The adjustment is very touchy and if you are not careful or you will make things worse.

Re: FT847 calibrate the V / U frequency

Your FT-847 is actually in spec. Per the manual the frequency accuracy for the 847 is at best 2 PPM. That translates to +/- 870 Hz at the center of the 70cm band, which is 435 MHz. If you want to

FT847 calibrate the V / U frequency
#tip
HI all
With the FT847 in VHF and UHF I have verified that they are off frequency of + 250Hz.
Does anyone know where in the radio I find and how can I correctly calibrate the right frequency?

Re: Kuhne QH40A crystal heater problem

Re: S9 noise on HF with or without antenna
Hi Bill and thanks for the reply. I had a little nose inside and injected a smallish signal and found that there was stray RF on the IF from the G4HUP PAT board I fitted many years ago.

Re: S9 noise on HF with or without antenna
Not sure of the FT847, but does it have a function or ability to turn off the AGC ?

Dear Group, I have a bit of a strange question. My FT847 has nothing but S9 of noise on HF (I work mostly satellite these days so only just noticed it). I tried all bands but seem to be blighted with

Re: Dodgy Rotary switch
Howdo Rob.
Spraying cleaner at it will do absolutely nothing. It is a crimped together

Re: Dodgy Rotary switch
Mechanical encoders get dirty just like Pots do. There is no problem with using a good quality cleaner that is intended for the purposes. I would pick one that has some lubricating quality to it.

Re: Replacement parts needed.
I repaired one of the shafts successfully by printing a D-shaped insert (the whole shaft is hollow) and gluing it in place. Perfect repair.

Re: Replacement parts needed.
They make parts that will not stick to epoxy because most people do not

So I need both parts.
