Hi Folks,
Wonder if anyone has experienced this anomaly with the FT-857:
When operating 2m FM at 50 watts the rig will shut down on key-up using hand
mic. This doesn't happen every transmit cycle but during a round table
conversation it may occur several times. Sometimes the rig restores to
normal operation status other times it is left in the off state and I have
to press the on button to activate the unit.
When I reduced power output to 25 watts there problem is not reproducible.
I've watched the battery voltage which in rec. is about 14.1 but in xmit the
voltage drops to 12.8. I wonder if the unit is powering down thinking the
operating voltage is too low?
Thoughts are welcome.
73,
dave
