Hi! I'm R.F. Radio, and I'm here to guide you through the fine points of the setup
and use of your new FT-857. I know you're anxious to get on the air, but I encour-
age you to read the "Operation" section of this manual as thoroughly as possible, so
you'll get the most out of this fantastic new rig. Now. . .let's get operating!
T
URNING THE
r To turn the transceiver on, press and hold in the
POWER switch for one second.
r To turn the transceiver off, again press and hold in
the POWER switch for one second.
This transceiver covers an incredibly wide frequency range, over which a number of differ-
ent operating modes are used. Therefore, this transceiver's frequency coverage has been
divided into different operating bands, each of with has its own pre-set frequency steps and
operating modes. You can change the channel steps and operating mode once you get started,
of course, per the next section.
To change the frequency band, press either the
[ BAND ( DWN ) ] or [ BAND ( UP ) ] key to move to the
next lower or higher operating band, respectively.
VFOa and VFOb are independent VFOs, so
they may be set to different bands. See the
"Stacked VFO System" discussion on page 37 for details.
Press either the [ MODE ( t ) ] or [ MODE ( u ) ] key to move among the eight settings for the
operating modes, respectively.
..... LSB ó USB ó CW ó CWR ó AM ó FM ó DIG ó PKT ó LSB .....
where "CWR" is "CW-Reverse," using the opposite
sideband from the "default" BFO injection sideband
(in most cases, the default injection sideband is on the
"USB" side); "DIG" is an AFSK-based Digital mode,
set up per Menu Mode No-038 [ DIG MODE ] ; and
"PKT" represents either 1200 or 9600 bps FM packet.
You can set VFOa and VFOb to different modes in the same band, allowing you to
have a "Phone" VFO and a "CW" VFO, for example.
