FT-817 causes quite a stir on the ELECRAFT Reflector
Hi Gang,
I just found this reflector and thought I'd share a few interesting
threads. I was one of the early Field Testers for the now infamous
ELECRAFT K2 QRP kit (SN#00039) and am still a member

That's 'famous' not 'infamous'!
As my dear ol' gray haired mum from Blackpool says, "Why can't the English
teach their children how to speak?" :-)

Seen the FT-817...
Went to the ARRL New England Convention in Boxboro, MA

radio.
I noticed the BNC jack on

Re: FT-817 Mods???
You Guys Crack Me Up!
A nice new QRP rig and you want to crank up the Tx power!
OK, OK I want the 'out of band Tx' for official use and I guess it will be

Re: FT-817 Mods???
Well, I guess initially there will be a price premium because the rig will be
new but it SHOULD be cheaper than the FT-100............ let's wait and see.

FT-817 Mods???
Does anyone have a list of mods for the FT-817 yet??? I am interested in
out-of-band TX for MARS, CAP, CB, FRS, police/fire, etc.
Thought I'd be the first to ask.
Satirically yours,

Re: 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

Re: FT-817 Mods???
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

Re: FT-817 Capabilities!
Hi Chuck (& the gang),
If YAESU are sensible they will make the 817 menu

Not necessarily. If they do this rig right, they're not only packing a
lot into small radio, but also doing some considerable work to keep the
power consumption low. After all, it doesn't make
