I have this radio in my Chevy Silverado paired with a Yaesu ATAS120a and just love it. The 857 is perhaps the best portable radio ever made. Thanks for the video and 73!

Thanks for the great video. My FT 897 has the same feature but I never tried it. Now that you brought it to my attention, I'll have to give it a try. Like a true spectrum analyzer, you are changing the resolution band width when you go to a slower scan and the bars are much narrower. Barry, KU3X

Love my FT857D So many quality features in a super compact Transceiver.. Have it installed in my pickup truck with the YSK remote kit and the ATAS 120A... Once the Antenna is grounded and bonded correctly . It is a solid mobile setup..

I have an older Icom IC-746 and it has a scope much like this, works in a similar fashion too! Interesting to see what is on that band segment in OZ?, here in the USA it is the public service band.... ie weather, rail,ex police, MURS....

Great video! Do you know if the spectrum scope signals move up and down in CW mode to the rhythm of the code being sent? Was just wondering because I have a new to me FT-897D I'm soon going to begin operating some. A couple of folks told me that the FT-857D and the FT-897D are basically the same radio in different packages. A friend loaned me a 857D when my FT-1000MP Mark V got hit by lightning along with several thousand dollars worth of all my home electronics! I was amazed at the 857D. (I replaced the Mark V with another). I could dial the CW DSP filter down to 50 Hz wide in the FT-857D and still hear a clear tone. That's pretty impressive considering that if I reduced the DSP filter on CW in my FT-1000MP Mark V to 60 Hz wide the tone became a little distorted. The DSP filters on the FT-857D, in my own brief experience, work so well you really don't need to buy a crystal filter from Inrad, not for CW anyway. Very 73!

Yes, the FT-857D and FT-897D are basically the same radio in a different package. As for your CW question, I just tuned to a beacon and activated the scope and it didn't show the CW signal in the scope.

I bought the Ft 857D new for years and use the spectrum analyzer quite often, but now it seems as if it no longer works. Switch only works when I press SCOP and nothing when I hold it. It doesn't matter which band I'm in, as if I've put something out somewhere, I just don't know what yet. Anyone has a suggestion??

I'm amazed it works. It doesn't do anything for me. It shows bars all the way across the same height whether there is a signal or not.
