I installed the FC-40 in my truck after getting it at Orlando, the
857D had been in the truck for several months. Installation went OK,
tuner seemed to tune OK on all bands from 60M down. A few weeks ago
the radio suddenly quit transmitting, no bar indication. Receive was
OK. Checked 2M with wattmeter, no output, antenna analyzer said 2M
antenna was OK. Sent radio back to Yaesu, came back today. Hooked it
up, didn't work. Played with 2M antenna, it worked, then didn't work.
Discovered that when I unplugged the control cable from the back of
the radio, the radio would work. Plug it back in, the radio would not
work. Tried tuning up on 20M, had high SWR. Unplugged cable, radio
would work.
Has anyone else had this problem?
