Appreciate the response/ 73 Gene K1NR

I've had good luck with Windcamp batteries. Only complaint is they are a bit tight fitting in battery compartment. I've also seen some lightweight lithium batteries on Amazon. A bit large perhaps for

For a budget purchase the tried and true 12 v 7 ah sla is hard to beat at $20 - $25. A 9 pack of 18650 cells will fit nicely in the radio footprint. 3 banks of 3 cells in parallel, each bank in series

I have used the Windcamp Lithium ion batteries quite successfully. wrote: -- 73, AB1PH Don Rolph

Alcon, I'll be taking my 817ND on the road this summer and need a replacement internal? battery. What is the latest group through regarding replacements?? I have seen NiMH batteries at 2000 mAh

Jokes but I did get a reply with a low ball offer for the key hihi John VE3IPS

Joe - My wife is NOT a hand-quilter. She uses machines to cut (AccuQuilt), sew (BabyLock and Janome) and quilt (a BabyLock mid-arm Tiara--fortunately not a long-arm yet). She describes herself as more

I had a KX3 and sold that, I still have an FT-817ND. The price difference meant I could achieve my next purchase more easily by selling the KX3. My main gripe with the KX3 with the poor speaker

My grandmother use to have quilting get to-gathers.? Her and a few women would meet and quilt every year.? I have one she made around 1960. She being not so financially well off, lived on a farm for

My wife is a hand quilter.? That is, according to her and a few of her associates, if a machine has touched it, it's not a quilt.? EVERY SINGLE piece of fabric is cut by hand.? EVERY SINGLE stitch

I use my FT-817ND mostly as an IF rig for VHF and microwave operation. I use it directly on 50, 144 and 432 MHz CW/SSB; as a 28 MHz IF for 222; as a 144 MHz IF for 902, 1296, 2304, 3456, 5760, 10368

So Andrew, the commentary thus far has been from those who only activate on HF or maybe FM with their 2m HTs. Without a very expensive optional transverter the Elecraft radios don’t do 2m (and

I feel like a yo-yo. I agree with one suggesting I sell and then another suggesting I should not get rid of my old friend. What I like about these older rigs is, to a degree, my familiarity with how

Hi Larry, Glad to hear your 817s also had their original finals! Well I think all of us have regrets about selling equipment, in my case, a yaesu FRG7 in original box, the best analogue receiver ever,

The 817 is still the best 2m and 70cm rig I own. If only for that, I would keep it. Batteries are a pain, but actually easier than most of my other HT which are more manufacture specific. It can be

I've had two FT-817s for many years. I bought them when they first came out. I installed mech filters (500 Hz) in both and operated mostly CW. I carried at least one on business trips around the world

Hi Andrew. I share your inability to part with old friends. My 20 year old FT817 was retired for a while but later very happily repurposed as half of a pair of 817s for satellite work. And my KX3 has
