I use my FT-817 almost exclusively in CW mode, but I get irritated at having to have the microphone available in in order to change the "FST" status (10 hz vs 100 hz tuning resolution). So I want to modify the FT-817 chassis/case to have a permanently installed momentary contact "FST" button.
If anyone has done this, please share how you did it. Part number(s)/source for a suitable pushbutton switch? And any installation photo(s) would be great!
I have examined the FT-817 service manual and I know where to make the connections at the microphone jack for a "FST" pushbutton.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
