※Notes

Please register HOME frequency by yourself after the first activation. (HOME frequency can be registered in all bands)

Most of the FT-857 commands require writing to the built-in EEPROM, but if writing to the EEPROM fails, in the worst case a repair request to the manufacturer will be required. For safety, this application realizes only with commands that do not need to be written to EEPROM. For example, band switching is not used by commands and band management is performed on the application side, so depending on usage, FT-857 and app band Please note that there may be a difference in.

Since this application includes elements other than the application such as conversion cable and Bluetooth adapter, we cannot support it if it does not work well. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please use at your own discretion and responsibility.
