I'm number 2 on the waiting list at AES in Milwaukee. Stopped by yesterday and was told they should be here in about two weeks. We'll see...I'll post as soon as I get my hands on the rig.

Hello Eric My name is Patrick and I am in the merchant Navy. I am travelling to Singapore this coming tuesday. Would you know of a Ham store there where I could buy some stuff(ie ft817). Thanks

Re: Amp for FT-817?
I just bought a solid state amp from the han store in san Anatonio Tx that takes a max of 20 watts drive for upto 500 watts out. Haven't tried it yet. When I do I will post and let you know how it

Re: Amp for FT-817?
Sorry Hey! If it sounds the same I spell it the same no need to remember useless words! at HF all your impedance matching is practically real and so you can get a way with just matching

Re: Amp for FT-817?
Most Multi Octave, HF PA systems get away with broad band matching transformers. Hay HF is practically DC compared to UHF and above. Its easy to get away with simple no tuning design. I would

Re: members
The way every one was talking I thought they had arrived already and I was really disappointed that no one wanted to talk mods!!! That explains things a little. Might mean I get mine sooner next I

Re: Amp for FT-817?
I've worked with these transistors but they are a bit of over kill. I also thought that Motorola was phasing them out! This is boosted by the fact that they dont include data of them on their web

Re: FT817 Smoke Problem
Remember, Yaesu has been in this market for a while with the x90's, x90 mark I, and the x90 mark II's. Althought they were 6M and above single band no one else tried it. Hopefully they learned with

Re: Amp for FT-817?
build an amp - use a Motorola Engineering Bulletin. Get the parts and boards from Communications Concepts in Beavercreek OH (near Dayton). They have a couple nice boards, toroid kits, chip cap kits

Amp for FT-817?
Not trying to dis QRP, but if I wanted to run an amp with this rig down in the HF frequencies, does anyone have any idea what we'd run? A CB amp was suggested to me, but I can't find any that are

Re: FT817 Smoke Problem
Absolutely -- I'm not trying to knock the radio! I'm also interested to hear your additional facts. I agree that it's interesting to see Yaesu in this market. I wonder if either Icom or Kenwood

FT817 Smoke Problem
I think in fairness it should be pointed out that the owner of the FT817 that smoked had been inside the radio, and had retweaked the transmit chain for much higher power than the radio is designed
