I bought a used Yeasu 857D with the mars mod already done.
Having difficulty finding the 60 meter band reset frequencies.
I read and followed the instructions in the owners manual carfully.
Still to no avail.
I have been told that when you do the mars mod you loose 60 meters.
Can anyone tell me if this is true.

Depends how it was done . mine is fine

 

What does an 857D mod have to do with Ham Radio Excellence? Shouldn't this be in another thread......

 

Love that signature!

 

N1TKO, love that signature!.

 

I spent several years in Japan and operated ham and MARS operations in that country. I remember the craft Yasme being in the news. The name Yasme is from the Japanese word: relax.
Appropriate.
