I have an FT-857D and recently noticed a strange problem. It has nearly no output power on CW, Regardless of what it is set to 5-100W I only get about 10mW out on CW. AM, FM, SSB seem to work just fine.
It was first noticed when I could no longer tune with my LDG AT-100Pro. I press the tune button on the tuner and it keys up the radio through the ACC jack but since the power is nearly non existent they tuner gives up with an error indication. I noticed that when the ACC jack is used the radio generates a carrier but no CW tone. When I use the key jack I get the CW tone. Is this how it is supposed to be?
I tried a full processor reset and that did not fix the problem. I don't think it is a problem with the finals as the other modes put out what they should.
Any Ideas?
