Re: 158 members
Sorry, I misunderstood. My radio has voice, not vox. At least they were thinking of White Caners. Douglas

Re: 158 members
I bought Ft-847 from a gentleman in New Brunswick about 4 years ago. It had a couple of small issues. AF/RF shaft was bent, found an original on ebay. Memory backup battery was replaced with a coin

Re: 158 members
I am very happy with my 847. Bought it 12 years ago through Ebay. I knew I wanted one after using the 847 that had been gifted to our club, the Niagara Peninsula Amateur Radio Club. What's better than

Re: 158 members
Bought mine in the 90's and use it regularly mainly for 6 and 2 Meter SSB and WSJT-X. It has had very few problems over the years. Lost memories and the memory switch is goofy. Still a good HF back

Re: Need Advice Getting into Satellite Operations
Hi Joe I have been using the 847 for over a year and it has worked very well for me. I do have rotatable antennas but I talk to many hams using the egg eaters with good success. I would suggest that

Re: Need Advice Getting into Satellite Operations
I¡¯ve been using an 847 on satellite for about 4 years with excellent results! Good luck and feel free to email me via my QRZ page email for any detailed questions¡­. In my opinion, the egg beaters

Re: Need Advice Getting into Satellite Operations
Hi Richard, Hope to hear you on the satellites soon! They are a lot of fun. Yes, the FT847 is still a good satellite radio. It does full duplex and has decent power levels on both 2m and 70cm.

Re: FT8 - HELP!!!
Hi Rob, Well if receive is working, the sound card is likely ok. But 2m FT8 is still using SSB, not FM, right? I believe the DIN connector aims at the FM world (i.e. for packet

Re: FT8 - HELP!!!
Still struggling Greg....... I've wired up a 6pin DIN for the packet socket....as I only want FT8 for 2m. I now have PTT working via RTS and CAT only reading frequency not controlling PTT

Re: FT8 - HELP!!!
The PTT from the computer would be measured by an ohmmeter, not a voltmeter. It's an open circuit when not active, and a low resistance when active. There's a +8v (I think) bias on the Tip

Re: FT8 - HELP!!!
Sorry Rob. I mis-read your post. Don't know if not having PTT connected would cause your problem. However, mine works fine with PTT and AF out multiplexed on the tip. 73, Tom K6EU
