I recently bought a 857d from someone used. I believe the previous owner got into the service menu and cranked up the power settings. I tested the radio and everything works great but the power output is way over the factory specs. I have to wonder what else is way off the factory specs. I have heard each 857d is aligned and will have different service menu settings than the next one coming down there assembly line. I don't want to cause component failure by using it with the power cranked way up and what ever else is out of alignment.
I have contacted the Yeasu service dept in Cypress,California to see if they can realign the radio back to factory specs. I know the radio is not under warranty anymore so I have to question how much it will cost me to have the factory realign it for me? Such a shame, the radio is in pristine condition. At least I will know its working right if the factory will repair it for me.
