It is a remarkable little radio - far less sophisticated than the modern portable SDR upstarts, but very capable and a lot of fun at a fraction of the price. Mine travelled all over the world with me,

Hi Ken, Thanks for the info and link. I read that early ND models can also use the software mod. My 817ND dates from early 2004. I read that it was only around 2010 that the software mod was

It's been a lot of years since I use the program but Widebander worked great. ( This is only for the non ND model.) FT-817 info and Widebander download /w instruction available

My FT-817 is 19 years old and did not come with 5 MHz TX. I am aware of a software mod which I prefer rather than a hardware mod. Is there official Yaesu software for doing the mod? If not, what is

The NiMH battery inside my FT-817 is loose. Is there an official spacer which is used to hold the NiMH battery firmly in place? I guess I could just use some foam? Maybe the foam on the battery

I have read about the failure of Toko ceramic filter in various Yaesu radios. I have a Yaesu VX-7 and a VX-2200 commercial radio where the ceramic filters failed. I have recently acquired an FT-817

The NiMH battery pack has 2 positive and 2 negative wires. Is this to spread the load given the thin wiring or are the two positive and 2 negative wires connected to different locations on the 817

I bought a W4RT One Touch Tune for operating my FT817/818 and LDG Tuner.? It works very well but I know W4RT is out of business.? You might find one used. -- Al Skierkiewicz WB9UVJ

Hello-- If someone can use? it, I have FS one only NOS "Y" cable in its original sealed package: https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/hls-cc-1-xlr-k I'm asking??? $20 plus USPS postage to your

Are you sure you need a splitter? The ACC plug has TXD, RXD (to control the FT817), PTT-out and band data, all you need to interface an amplifier. The DATA plug has the signals you'd need if you run

Tried ebay and Amazon... I followed a suggestion to try https:// technofix.co.uk ( http://technofix.co.uk ). They had a cable listed as " USB Cat & programming cable with linear PTT out for Yaesu

Exactly!! Even in my best soldering days, those 6 and 8 pin mini dins were a cast-iron (so and so) to solder. Testing the pin-outs only showed if I got it right or not. If not, I had to start all over

I remember that ten years ago every online cable maker had these "Y" cables for most radios at the time... not so much now.

Thanks, I really do appreciate and value your comment. I have a disability which prevents me from making or building cables anymore. I do have the pin-outs for the 8 pin mini din, but cannot hold a

I always check eBay first for this kind of stuff. Maybe Amazon too, if no luck there.?? ?I would make it for you if it came to that, but my stuff is already packed for moving. Anyone else? Joe

Some cities have 're-use' shops with boxes full of old cables. If you remember what the pinout was, you can often find a number of them for very cheap

Pietro is correct. Xiegu is notorious for using 6 pin DIN cables. I got my 6 pin males on both ends from some old McIntosh cords and found many old PS-2 mouse cables had all six leads fed out. 8 pins

the link to the 'cable' mentioned at the very end appears to be dead. But the author is on twitter (or was) https://twitter.com/kc9hzc

Dear John, if your problem is only relative to how to solder minidin and you know how to build the cable you need, you can use the simple trick: buy a cable minidin to minidin and cut it. You will
