Another use that a friend of mine will use this new radio for
is a Microwave base reference frequency.
?
Apparently, they take a very small (in power) precise signal
and inject it into there homebrew multipliers and amplifiers and come out on 2.4
gig.
?
Not really too familiar with this application, but the small
power and stable frequency has them all very excited.
?
(Quite a few of these microwavers are using Icom 706 and
FT-100 radios, but they guys say they have way too much power for their
applications.)

Subject: Re: [FT817] FT-817 Mods???
Ok guys, my tongue was firmly planted in cheek on that last
email.
However, I'm sure someone will figure out how to get 7 watts out of
it
instead of 5. Big hootie power!!!!
Also, I'm sure someone will ask
"How can I hook the ft-817 up to a
linear?" :-)
I've got 4 months to
save my pennies for this rig. I can't wait!
I wonder what the price will
be? The FT-100 is running under $1000 US.
It would have to be cheaper,
right?
