Subject: [ft817] Just came over from the Yahoo group

?

Hi all. I just came over from Yahoo to join this group so I can still get all the info I need for my 817.
Question...Will this group cover the new FT-818 as well? I just bought one at the SEAPAC Convention in Seaside, Oregon this year (2019).
I know they are practically the same, maybe a menu change or two, and the 818 has the TCXO.
One other item, not sure if I can get help here but I'll mention it anyway. My 817 is having an audio problem. Anything I listen to, does not matter frequency or mode, the audio drops out at random and in glitches, popping in and out. If I turn the volume and squelch thru full range it will sometimes come back. Also, changing frequency tends to clear it as well. So, not sure if something is loose, wearing out, or a circuit is going bad somewhere in the audio chain. Anyone else have this problem? My 817 is a November 2006 ND model. Still works on all settings, just the audio is going bad.
Thanks for being here!
