His daughter and myself inherited all of his equipment when he passed away in February of 2017. N5LNL (Brian Key) took exceptional care of his equipment, and had things covered with cloths, in vacuum packed bags or placed in original boxes in his ham shack. We have plugged in or turned on these radios long enough to verify they come on, and followed instructions via Google to factory reset each one. Please read The following description(s) were taken from another sale of this exact same radio: The FT-857D, the world’s smallest HF/VHF/UHF mobile transceiver, provides base station-type performance from an ultra-compact package that’s ideal for mobile or external battery portable work. Wide frequency coverage, outstanding receiver performance, and the convenience of optional remote-head operation make the FT-857D the expert’s choice for high-performance mobile operation! The new FT-857D version includes coverage of the U. 60-meter (5 MHz) band, plus the previously-optional DSP circuitry, at no additional cost! Ultra Compact Design Measuring just 6.1? The FT-857 is the world’s smallest HF/VHF/UHF up to 100W multimode transceiver! Its rugged case design is a masterpiece of ergonomic design, with often-used switches and knobs conveniently positioned for easy access. High-Performance Receiver Design Building on the acclaimed performance of the FT-1000D, Mark-V FT-1000MP, and FT-897, Yaesu’s engineers have crafted the FT-857? S front end for a very low noise floor, along with wide dynamic range. Utilizing an up-conversion architecture for HF with a first IF of 68.33 MHz, the FT-857 features a double-conversion super heterodyne system (triple conversion on FM), with the 2nd IF at 10.7 MHz. Extensive band pass filtering in the front end, along with careful device selection and gain distribution, yield a receiver system ready for the strong-signal challenges of today? Wide Frequency Coverage Providing transmitter coverage of the HF, 50 MHz, 144 MHz, and 430 MHz Amateur bands, the FT-857 also includes receive coverage on 100 kHz to 56 MHz, 76 to 108 MHz, 118-164 MHz, and 420-470 MHz. Versatile Memory System The FT-857 provides up to 200 Main memory channels, each of which may be named with an Alpha-Numeric label of up to eight characters. These 200 Memories may be separated into as many as 10 Memory Groups of 20 Memories each. For added convenience, you also get a Quick Memory and a Home Channel on each band, plus ten pairs of band-limit memories, to let you restrict operation to a sub-band, if you like. Digital Signal Processing For superior interference rejection and transmitter talk power, the FT-857’s optional DSP circuitry enhances both sides of the communications circuit. S DSP Unit features a 24-bit high-tech D/A chip for signal processing. Included are Bandpass Filter, Auto-Notch, and Noise Reduction filters, along with a Microphone Equalizer. Big Radio Tuning Dial and Outstanding Ergonomics Ease of operation of the FT-857 is enhanced by the large-diameter (1.7) Main Tuning Dial, similar in size to the tuning knob of many base station rigs. Selectable tuning steps of 2 kHz/4 kHz per revolution allow easy navigation around your favorite bands, while important keys and switches are strategically placed around the front panel for quick access.
