FT-847 power switch
The power switch on my FT-847 is starting to have issues and while I am in the process of locating where to have it replaced, is it advisable to use the power supply to turn the rig on and off?
Thanks

Re: FT847 on digi
Hi Hal, this is a circuit I use for all sorts of data modes, this one I made for my Clansman kit.
The circuit is always the same just the wiring details change, it's cheap and easy to make.

Re: FT847 on digi
Hi Spence
Thanks for your reply. It's funny you should mention using an optocoupler.
The one I originally built for my FT-100 back then and still use for my
FT-817 uses a 4N25 optocoupler for PTT

The ext Speaker option is used if you find using the low level Line Input
on your sound card doesn't have enough to drive the software (mainly SSTV
from what I remember) as opposed to using the

Re: FT847 on digi
Nice interface, Ian. Curious, why use the external speaker jack,
given that its output is dependent on the front panel volume control
and subject to being mis-set? There is a fixed level

Re: FT847 on digi
I have an early FT-847 sitting on 40.680 FT8 right now. I've also used it
on 2M with no problems. 432 is a bit of a problem as my Ft-847 is off by
about 1.7khz on 432. This is far enough away from

Re: FT847 on digi
Oh Yes I love that interface.
Ian’s nice design is Similar to mine which was a 600:600 transformer and 1k:8 ohm much like the pdf.
I think I also used a 2N2222 and used it to drive a 2N33

What Spence said,
I would add that the 847 was built back when doing "data"
communication on HF involved different "TNC" equipment than VHF, so
(I presume) they designed it to

Yes and WSPR and JT65HF.
Also recently used on GreenCube but a lot of hassle due to GreenCube being simplex and the FT847 having to work doppler shifting and split on the same band. Very tricky to

Re: 60 Meter Transmit Mod Info Wanted
The 60 metre mod is easily done by simply widebanding the radio.
60 metres is not in the processor, as 60 metres was not thought of when the
