Re: GPS lock the FT-817 for transverter
True, locking the transverter has mathematically more impact on the stability of the whole system, rather than locking just the 817. For most ops, locking the rig isn't necessary at all.

Re: GPS lock the FT-817 for transverter
A little guidance is in order here, because the BIGGEST frequency errors are likely a result of the TRANSVERTERS LOCAL OSCILLATOR, when operating microwave transverters into a TCXO equipped FT-817. If

Re: GPS lock the FT-817 for transverter
I don't have the TCXO-9 yet, but only would get the genuine one for sure.

Re: GPS lock the FT-817 for transverter
Pardon the inquiry.
I am interested in learning a bit more about upper microwave transverters and their operation.

Re: GPS lock the FT-817 for transverter
Do you have the real Yaesu TCXO-9, or the Chinese copy? If you have the

Re: GPS lock the FT-817 for transverter

Re: good to see the move - longtime ft817 user
Bill, the 818 was a big nothing burger. It was mostly because some of
the parts in the 817 became unobtanium. The specs are pretty much the
