I checked it with 2 SWR/Power meters. On 20 metres, it gives 500
milliwatt (full power selected on FT-817). External 13,8V power
supply, no batteries inside.

Even without the battery pack, the power remains low. On HF, no
power
comes out (according to the FT-817's power bars: 0 bars!). On the
other hand, my power supply shows about 1 A current.

Rene,
If you have an internal batery pack installed, try disconnecting
it
from the 817 and run with the 13.8 V DC supply only. If all is
well,
you may have a battery problem. Maybe overly discharged.

Tonight, my FT-817 died...
RX on all bands is OK. All used antennas were ok. Now,
suddenly,
there is only between 0.5 and 1 Watt coming out of it, only on
VHF
and UHF. All other freqs: no show.
What could be the problem? I've tried the resets POWER+F+V/M,
POWER+HOME, POWER+F, POWER+V/M.
I've looked into the alignment menu to see if there were any
ratings
at '0', but it looks quite normal, compared to what I've seen
in
some
postings here (I never went into the alignment menu myself).
I did not do any modification on the rig.
Appreciate any help,
