Finished making a stand for the #ft857 remote head. You can find the bracket and hinged mount on #thingiverse, they print quickly. I glued the stand on a piece of thin wood that I spray painted with acrylic. #hamradio #shortwave #radio #yaesu

Hat hier jemand nen FT857?

Wenn ich per CAT den VfoB setze (aber auf VfoA höre), springt der FT ganz kurz immer auf den VfoB. Laut manual gibts angeblich keinen CAT-Befehl um die VfoB direkt zu setzen. Per CAT passiert immer erst ein „Switch to VfoB“, dann „QSY“ und dann wieder zurück zu VfoA.

Oder mach ich was falsch?

Aktuelles SetUp: FT857 via OmniRig am PC und auf OmniRig drauf ne Software die Dopplerkorrektur macht (SAT).

Hat jemand einen Tip?

Chilling on my balcony, have made a long cable for my #yaesu #ft857 remote head so I can listen comfortably to #shortwave. #swl #hamradio

following the thread from earlier, I've written up a #blog post about my adventure with my first portable power for my radio:

Tried again, unsuccessfully, to get #FT8 to work on my #FT857 without sound coming from the speaker. Turning the volume down kills audio from the data port, as does unplugging the speaker. My audio interface, which worked fine with dataport audio, doesn't work with the external speaker jack... even though it works with an external speaker. Out of ideas. #digimode #digimodes

Uploaded new freqs, happily scanning thru the channels again. #yaesu #ft857 #hamradio

Any reason for banana over something like Anderson Powerpoles? I'd worry about banana plugs taking a compression over time and being malformed
