I disagree, read the 857 digest, there are all sorts of magical fixes that seem
to work but ultimately fail.
The only loose screws were in my head when I purchased the radio WITHOUT
reading the 857 digest to see about the problem! (I probably would have
purchased it anyway, I wanted a small radio)

The "tighten the circuit board screws" isn't an oscillation fix unique to the
FT857/897. I have had to do it to a Yaesu FT100D and Icom 551D as well, and
have had a couple of friends have to do it to their Icom 706mKIIG as well.
