Has anyone actually confirmed this?
I guess the numbers make sense. About 3 watts dissipated at full volume
(1 watt or so of audio out).
Anyone?

It has 150ma rx draw on switch on with no volume and 450ma at full

If the receive current of the ft-817 is truly 450mA as our friend from
Japan has said, I seriously doubt I'll buy one. I had heard earlier that
the receive current was around 150mA.
I wonder why the disparity in these numbers?

That's pretty high alright, but about what I expected. I'll probably buy
one, but as more of a "pocket 847" rather than a serious manpack/QRP rig. I
already have plenty of those anyway, although I'm always on the lookout for
another.

FW: ARLB039 ARRL seeks monitoring reports on 10 and 12 meters
here is some information or a survey for 10 meter intruders (bootleggers and
such). This will help them show how much illegal activity is on the band.

ARLB039 ARRL seeks monitoring reports on 10 and 12 meters
In an effort to better document the extent of unlicensed operation
on Amateur Radio frequencies, particularly 10 meters, the IARU
Region 2 Monitoring System is surveying member societies about the
extent of the problem. In order to provide statistical backing for
its response, ARRL is soliciting reports from American hams to
supplement its response to the survey.
ARRL Monitoring System Administrator Brennan Price, N4QX, is
accepting reception reports from amateurs for a two-week period,
from October 1 to October 14. Observations should include date and
time in UTC, frequency, mode of the transmission, language, if
known, and any notes which might assist in identifying the source.
Observations should also be limited to amateur frequencies, focusing
on 10 and 12 meters.
Price urges monitors to use caution before documenting a
transmission as probably unlicensed. ''Most countries do not mandate
a segregation of voice and digital modes, as the United States
does,'' Price says. ''A phone transmission between 28.0 and 28.3
MHz is not necessarily illegal in the country where that
transmission occurs, and if valid amateur call signs can be made
out, the transmission should not be reported. However, lower
sideband and AM transmissions between 28.0 and 28.1 MHz are usually
unlicensed, and may be treated with suspicion.''
Reports should be e-mailed to Price at n4qx@.... All reports
will be acknowledged, and respondents will receive a summary of the
survey results via email.

Re: Belated website of Aussy h/held tcvr
Hi all,
If any of you guys are interested in Australian HF SSB transceivers look
at << >> this is the home page of BARRETT
Communications, probably the most versatile and respected commercial HF SSB
transceivers around. If anyone is interested I have some of their equipment
(950, and 550 transceivers) and other assorted commercial equipment such as
Motorola Micom Rapid Deployment radios, TenTec Hercules linears, and Kachina
portable HF rigs for sale. E-mail me for detail's.
