ARDTS 817 From RT Systems
I've also sent this to RT for help, but curious if anyone else has had this problem. Help! We have here a clear case of operator stupidity, software problems, radio problems, or a combo of one or

Re: amplifier
I think this is illegal, per FCC. A radio has to load an amp with a minimum of 50 watts. Its a rule that came out, if I remember right, in the 1970's so that CB linears would be harder to come by. My

Icom CW filter
I have an Icom 706 that could use a filter but have nothing to swap except maybe some cash. Let me know if you are interested in selling the 500hz filter. Paul K3PG Message: 4 Date: Wed, 23 May 2001

Paul: Sort of, but not really. Since the load the radio will place on the battery will be variable depending on how much you transmit and receive, that alone will make it difficult to figure out. You

Re: amplifier
Hi Jeffrey, The applicable rules are 97.315 and 97.317 plus a few referred rules. In short, 97.317 says that an EXTERNAL RF HF amp must require NLT 50 W drive to produce its full rated output. You may

How do you figure out how long a 817 will run on a 12 volt 7.2 AH SLA battery? Is it just a matter of converting the 7.2 AH battery rating into milliamps and then dividing that by the max milliamp

Re: Using ACC jsck to power tuner? - current limited
According to the Cct Diagram there is a 10 ohm resistor in Series with the DC out. So if you draw 100mA there will be a 1 volt drop. Running on Int Batteries that could be a problem. You could put a

Re: Using ACC jsck to power tuner?
Sharyl: Yes, but have you tried it on battery power? I just connected the Z11 I got at Dayton and I find that the Z11 won't tune with something less than 10 Volts on the FT-817 batteries. Tunes fine

Re: Homebrew HF Antenna
Stephanie, I am interested in your antenna. Is that the original K-40 antenna? Doesn't that come with a trunk mount? I may be thinking of a different antenna. Please send me model numbers if possible
