A friend of mine recently purchased a used Yaesu FT-857 (not a D model), and I have an FT-857D. My question is will the "plain" 857 accept my code plug for an 857D? I know that many other manufacturers won't be compatible if it's a different model, as the "plain" 857 is a few years older than the 857D.
My code plug has just about every band with upper and lower portions along with many UHF, VHF, and 6-meter repeaters from our local area in it.
I won't even plug my computer cable into his 857 without getting a definitive compatibility assurance from the non-D 857 with my 857D.
