Re: 'running man' on display

This is true. It is one annoyance I have with the FT817. Somehow the fast tune accidentally got turned on once when I was portable. I couldn't turn it off. I had a mic that didn't have a FST (fast) button. I later added a button for it to the mic.

Hi Markus Unfortunately the momentary push of the power button used on the larger 8x7s doesn't work on the 817. The quick fix is to borrow an MH31 mic and use its fst button. Alternatively You should have room in your stock mic to get a small pb switch in and the correct wire is probably connected in the plug already to set an fst up. Your only other recourse is to do the partial reset, hold in V/M while pressing power on, but remember that you will lose the memories so do a back up first. Simon, G0EIY

Subject: [ft817] 'running man' on display
Hi om's, yl's,
i am using an after-market microfone, with an buildt-in electred-capsule, on my FT-817 (non -ND)
The mike does not have any other 'buttons'! (UP/DWN/FAST)
I know to put on the 'running man' and what it does, (greater steps in VFO-frequenzy-setting, etc.) with the original microfone. (FAST-button)
But, without the MH-31, I normaly can't switch it 'on' this 'running man'!
But it happens that the 'running man' IS switched 'ON', and I have no glue, to switch it 'OFF' again! - Also, I don't know, how it will appear on the LCD. I don't know, what combination I have done, to switch over to the 'running man'. -
Don't have my MH-31 here, by now, and want to switch off, this 'dumb' setting again!
Is any of you aware, what i have done?
Please be aware, English is not my native tounge, and any/many mistakes are possible!
