Re: [amsat-bb] FT-847 question - lost 75 and 160 meter xmit

["hasan schiers" <schiers@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My menu 31 says "Tuner" and not FC-20 or ATS-100.

What am I missing?

Incidentally, I've been unable to turn off the tuner function for over a
year.

Is my 847 "stuck", or what am I missing?

tnx,

...hasan
