Re: Power pole adapter

 

Hi Sonny:

The FT-817 and it's successors, ARE the best selling rigs of all time. ?Ironic, since Yaesu originally viewed it as a rig only for their domestic market. ?But, hams around the world saw the advantages of a compact rig that was all-mode, and all-band (160 M through 70 cm). ?It's surprising that no other company has sought to make a directly competing product.

The radio itself is enormously popular and with so many in use theres bound to be a variety of mods and improvements. I dont know any numbers but it is probably among the highest selling rigs of all time.

I will probably roll my own.

I can buy a pigtail with a female 1.7 x 4mm socket and add a PP to it.

Hi Randall:

This is a case where the solution is to cut the cable that feeds the rig, and install a PP connector. ? And... you can install a PP connector on the piece you cut off, so as to make a cable adapter that will restore the original plug's capability. ?Don't forget to double check the polarity of the leads inside the cable. ?And check again.
