[Yaesu] FT-857D service manual

[Mike Z]

Lee, you can learn a lot about the 857's on the yahoo group. I know I did.

I have the non-D and there is an easily accessible 'hidden' menu where you can change those settings.

By the way, I like mine a lot.

About to move it to the boat for the summer and then into the car.
