[VHFcontesting] VHFcontesting Digest, Vol 71, Issue 34

I disagree, read the 857 digest, there are all sorts of magical fixes that seem to work but ultimately fail.

The only loose screws were in my head when I purchased the radio WITHOUT reading the 857 digest to see about the problem! (I probably would have purchased it anyway, I wanted a small radio)

The "tighten the circuit board screws" isn't an oscillation fix unique to the FT857/897.  I have had to do it to a Yaesu FT100D and Icom 551D as well, and have had a couple of friends have to do it to their Icom 706mKIIG as well.
