I would like to get some verification that my "just returned from
Yaesu" FT-817 is in the ball park with others when it comes to RF
power out. The following readings were taken using FM mode, dc
voltage at 13.6 volts constant and into a 50 ohm load.
Freg Output RF (watts)
440 3.5
144 5.5
28 3.5

Dear Don,nice report!
I wonder if you could specify your setting figures ie:
tx hflow 89 I=1,8 amps
tx hfmid 102 I=2.0 amps
txhfhigh 78 I=1.9 amps
I think you know what i mean,it would give others and myself some idea
what we can expect if we compare your values with ours.
From memory i think the max. value is 124 or so.
also how about the current readings as well on the different bands
I have mine aligned somewhat like yours but found the current
consumption on 2 and 70 a bit high to align for the full 5 watts,so i
left them a bit lower,figured no-one could tell the difference anyway!
Hows that for a mission? max
