Re: Looking for a CAT port Splitter Y cable for the 817
Hi John:
I had a similar issue for the FT-818. There was a guy in Indiana who made a dual CAT cable but, he disappeared.
The Z-817 + tuner split out the CAT port
But there was expansion port devices

Re: Looking for a CAT port Splitter Y cable for the 817
I believe that to be a serial based connection. (that means it would not
be able to run two devices simultaneously)

Re: 'running man' on display

Re: 'running man' on display
Things have changed. This M-90 microphone doesn't have connectivity between the two sockets. The pain. Luckily there are some RJ45 splitters on Amazon. Will be here Friday to try.

Re: 'running man' on display
I like using the 817/818 base station and as such prefer a base mic. Since the MD-100 & MD-200 and newer, Yaesu base mics have a reversible cable for using on 8 pin round and RJ45 radio alike. Here's

Re: 'running man' on display
This is true. It is one annoyance I have with the FT817. Somehow the fast

it off. I had a mic that didn't have a FST (fast)

Re: FT817 ND VFO VFO spindle problem
Yes, hexagonal. Sorry. I'm guessing it will be around 1.5 - 2 mm for a starting point to try.

The problem I had with some FT & other such radios, the ape that tightened

I have a key that came with a spare Yaesu FT81x series VFO knob. I've just measured mine at 1.46 mm or 0.0575" AF.

Hi Joseph
Is it a hexagonal?
If so I will need a very small allen key.

Re: FT817 ND VFO VFO spindle problem
In U.S. we call them set screws and is almost always an "Allen" type. I assume it's a metric size given other 817 hardware is metric.

Re: Recommendations for a replacement battery pack for F-817ND
I also 3d printed a similar one of these a couple of years ago without the BMS as I use an external lipo charger but would go down this route now. It's been very reliable.
