    Lou,
    There is no schematic. It was never passed on to LnR by the designer.
    The pin out is listed in the manual located on the LnR homepage.

    Roger,
    Try removing the the internal battery and reinserting it. That may cure it. Be sure also you are not in the beacon mode.

    Dave,
    The contrast is not adjustable.

    Alex,
    Go to the “Manuals” section of the LnR web site. Download the manual for the radio. It has all the technical specs for the radio.

    Everyone’s voice and mic position is different. I would start with no compression and try each TX EQ setting to find what is right for you.

    I don’t think it is related to the firmware. If you are concerned, you can update on LnR’s web site.
    I would suggest you check your menu settings.
    Make sure you are not “close talking” the mic. Keep it 5 to 7 inches from your lips.
    Check your compression setting.
    Adjust your TX EQ settings in the menu.

    If all that fails, it may be a bad mic.

    Steve,
    If you have the means, you might try removing the two side screws, knurled nuts over phone and key jack and separate bottom cover. Remove the battery for 60 seconds. Put it all back together and set the cw vox back to 300ms our so. If that doesn’t work you may have fried the display? 12 volts max i believe.

    Power the radio off. While holding the “finction” key, power the radio up. Release the function key when it powers up. But be very careful. There are things in there that will render the radio dead.
    Power the radio off after setting your filters. When you power back up, you will have to reset your user settings again. AGC, CWVox, WPM, Pitch etc.

    KK6ZZP,
    In the case of the LD5 and FX4a it would be side panels. For the MTR it would be top edge. Download the manuals from the website and it will show you what you need.

    Based on the ARRLreview and tests, none were detectable on the receive end and were not transmitted at adetectable level. So I doubt there will be any changes in the near future.

    That should be SWR meter on the 857D…..not SET meter.

    Barney,
    While an antenna analyzer or SWR meter make it much easier, the SET meter on the 857D will work. As you say, make the initial tests at lowest power setting of 5 watts. If you are going to be operating mostly SSB, you will need to shorten the main radiator by a substantial amount. If you operate mostly CW you will only need to shorten it a small amount. It will come out of the box tuned right at our just below the bottom end of the bands. It is manufactured so it can be used on MARS/RACES and Civil Air Patrol frequencies as well as Amateur frequencies. The trimming/tuning procedures are well covered in the manual that can be downloaded from the LnR web site.

    There are none in the plans. The existing EF-80 is good for 100 watts a and I doubt there will ever be one to operate over that.
