The Yaesu FT-857D is a multimode amateur transceiver that transmits and receives communications on bands ranging from high frequency (HF) to very high frequency (VHF) to ultra high frequency (UHF). It has inputs for an HF/6M antenna and a 2M/440 MHz antenna, as well as a removable front panel. It is even remotable with a separately sold kit.
General Specifications
-
The Yaesu 857D weighs 4.6 lb and measures 6.1 inches by 2 inches by 9.2 inches. It operates in temperatures ranging from 14 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. It runs on 13.8 volts of negative ground direct current power, plus or minus 10 percent. Its frequency stability is plus or minus 4 parts per million (ppm) between temperatures of 14 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Its emission modes are as follows: A1 (continuous wave), A3 (amplitude modulation, or AM), A3J (lower and upper sidebands), F1 (9,600 bps packet), F2 (1,200 bps packet) and F3 (frequency modulation, or FM). Its minimum synthesizer steps are 10 Hz (continuous wave/single-sideband modulation) and 100 Hz (AM, FM and wideband FM).
Reception
-
The Yaesu 857D receives transmissions over frequencies that range from 0.1 to 56, 76 to 108, 118 to 164 and 420 to 470 MHz. When receiving, it consumes between 0.55 and 1 ampere (A). Its sensitivity on the SSB/CW modulation (considering 10 dB signal-to-noise ratio) ranges from -uV to 0.125 uV. On AM, it ranges from 32 uV to 1 uV. Considering a 12 dB signal-to-noise and distortion ratio for FM, the sensitivity ranges from 0.5 uV to 0.2 uV. Its first intermediate frequency is 68.33 MHz on SSB, CW, AM and FM, and 10.7 MHz on wideband FM. Its second intermediate frequency is 455 kHz. Its audio output is 2.5 watts into 4 ohms at 10 total harmonic distortion, with impedance that ranges from 4 ohms to 16 ohms.
Transmission
-
The 857D transmits over frequencies that include the range between 160 and 6 meters, 2 meters, 70 centimeters (only for amateur bands) and the Alaska emergency frequency at 5,167.5 kHz. It consumes about 22 A during transmission. Its power output is 100 watts when transmitting between 160 and 6 meters, 50 watts at 2 meters and 20 watts at 70 centimeters. It has balanced modulation over SSB, variable reactance over FM and early stage modulation over AM. Its maximum deviation on FM is 5 kHz. Its SSB frequency response ranges from 400 Hz to 2,600 Hz. Its microphone impedance ranges from 200 ohms to 10,000 ohms, with the supplied microphone offering an impedance of 2,000 ohms.
