I am "loosing" repeater offset
After initially setting and successfuly testing 440 MHz repeater access I subsequently loose the "offset" setting.
The little and hard to see -+ sign above "O" of "VFO" just goes away. Mostly and at random (?) when I turn the power off / on. The "offset" is set / alternate by pushing "RPT" . Since these mini sign are hard to read I also check the main frequency display and it SHOULD change on transmit. Is there option / setting I have missed to have the "offset" permanently per frequency ? |
I note on my FT-857D the ability to have automatic repeater shift on or off. I set my radio to off, so I use the memory channels to individually to have the repeater shift on and what offset required. I also set the CTCSS as required per memory channel. We do not use DCS, so option in each memory channel is off.

Not high jacking anything. There is so much random stuff on this post and you pick my very nice reply that offers a really nice and expensive radio for a very good price. Your an idiot. I’m not some swip-swap sales person. I respect this group and anyone can easily their passion for this model radio. But let me guess...... your probably some fat, old lazy guy who sits in their so called shack spitting liberal views and imposing your lame Democrat opinion on people. As far as I’m concerned, you can kiss my all America veteran ass. Chuck --

I wanted to buy the FT-857 from you but your nasty reply to vaclav sal who was right about highjacking changed my mind. I thank you for your service to our country.

Unlike other yaesu radios, these settings are not associated to the frequency, but a temporary change on screen that is lost at the smallest change you make on the vfo or power cycle. The only way to make it permanent is storing on a memory positionBingo. Thanks for the reply. I am now looking into "memory options". Little confusing, but 200 memory positions sounds great to fiddle with. |

vaclav sal I would get the FT-857 programming software from RT Systems. rtsystemsinc.com It makes so much easier to program the radio. ADMS-4B is the software you need. They have two versions one with the cable $49.00 and one with no cable $25.00. I hope that helps. 73’s

FTBasicMMO is another great program. I use it for my 817, 857’s and 897 and it makes it very easy to copy channel information between radios.

Another good programing software is g4hfq's FTBasicMMO <https://www.g4hfq.co.uk/ftbasic.html>. The software is free and a cheap $10 eBay cable will give you everything you need to program the FT857 memories.

FT Basic is what I have used too, ever since buying my 857D some
10 years ago. I've never had any problemms with it ! On 01/07/2020 02:10 pm, Eric wrote:

Thanks for very constructive replies. Appreciate that..
I am currently waiting for Bluetooth hardware. I'll will czech the software soon. BTW - just out of curiosity question - since I have never used the memory, but it looks as there are some entities there already 1. Can I save on PC what is already in memory ? 2. Does any software do "full memory reset" or is much easier /safer to do "V/M +Power on" ? 3. Apparently each memory position can be custom labeled ( looks similar to beacon programming ) Do I get some indicator on how much memory is in use / left over ? I am not planning to use every memory position anyway. |

Missing some Windows (DLL?) files. Not a first time Wine cannot run Windows executable. I am sure I can find something to run under Linux. |
FTBasicMMO, CHIRP and I believe RTSystem can save a copy can save a copy of your memories to your PC. FTBasicMMO will also save a complete clone so even settings you can't change with the SW are preserved.

There is no easy way to determine % of memories in use. Leonard K. Pennock AD7AS Those who walk bravely through life, unafraid of loss or failure, find that they very rarely lose or fail. On 7/1/20 7:43 AM, vaclav_sal via groups.io wrote:

You can use CHIRP instead. Not as fully functional as FTBasic but will program the memories and backup the memories.
