Re: Can FT-847 power 2 preamps with total current of 400mA

Morning Bruce

I just looked at the website for Advanced Receiver Research, and they say all their receivers require

25ma. Well within the parameters for the 847.

Even the military receivers were at 25ma.

Hope this helps.

Happy Hunting

Stay Safe

I just acquired a used FT-847 and plan to use it for VHF/UHF work including getting into satellites. I have one question. I plan to get preamps and am looking at 2M and 75cm mast preamps from Advanced Receiver Research. They require 200mA each. The Yaesu manual says it can supply 300mA to the VHF AND/OR UHF connectors. I am confused if this a total for both connectors conbined or 300 mA each? Looking at the schematic I see there is one current limiter for both connectors so I assume this is a total number. I am wondering if anyone has run into this?

Thanks,
