Re: FT-817 almost powers up
Hello Bill I do not have a circuit (schematic) for the 817 here but I do know that the much earlier FT290 and FT690 had a reverse polarity diode in the negative pole of the DC power connector. If

Also, what fault would cause a VOM voltage reading of 13.8V from the DC barrel (-) to the 817 metal case?? (same radio)? Do I have a shorted cap? b
