Hi there:
First, I have tried on other bands and do not get the split; it is only on ten meters.
Second on ten meters whether cw or phone, it moves up by nearly 9 khz.
Again, on other bands, whether cw or phone, it stays on same frequency.

Hi Mike,
?
That doesn’t sound like a repeater shift problem as repeater shift is only operational on FM.
?
The shift is only 8.5 kHz so it may, in fact be that the radio is in split mode. Try changing your receive frequency to, say 28.340 and then see what the transmit frequency does when you transmit.
?
Also, see if you get the same sort of result on other bands.
?
I have an FT857 which has a fault (which I haven’t yet fully diagnosed) whereby it transmits 13 kHz away from the receive frequency. This occurs on all bands and modes.
?
Let us know the results of those tests and we can try to diagnose further.

Hi guys:
I have a question about my ft817.
Yesterday, I was on 28336 on ten meter usb mode.
When I attempted to answer a buddy, and I key up the mic,
The frequency would shift upwards to transmit on 283445.
I looked up the menus to see if repeater shift was on, and I got the following:
?
Menu Item 42 [RPT SHIFT]
Function: Set the magnitude of the Repeater Shift.
Available Values: 0 ~ 99.99 MHz
Default: Depends on transceiver version, and the band in use.
Each band’s repeater shift (HF/50/144/430 MHz) may be set independently.
?
The thing is, when I enter menu 42 and turn the tuning knob to the left to try to get it to 0, then hit hold the function button to get out of the menu,
The voice box I have reports nothing.
Has anyone else ever encountered this problem?
?
Please advise as you like.
?
Mike M.
