Hi Zack, I have done this mod to one of my 817s to operate a transverter, works well.
Soldering the +5V takeoff to the board is a bit delicate, but there is plenty of room.
cheers, John, VK2YOC.

The FT857 mod that I have involves finding a line that has a voltage present on transmit, adding a resistor and a capacitor in a certain place in the transmit output chain and connecting the switched voltage line. The FT857 is different enough that these things are in different places on the FT817. I'm wondering if anyone has done this before or knows of the mod.
