Hi guys and gals, If one would like to make a cheap dipole and IDEAL DIPOLE for portable or backpacking work with his FT-817, there is a very nice design from Budd W3FF. This is a very nice and

Interesting. In my experiments with wire counterpoises, I found that winding the end of the counterpoise on to a 3in diameter former (a breakfast glass) created an inductor that electrically

Well, they do have experience...... I purchased the VX-5 software they came out with and found some bugs so I used "EVE" to program my VX-5 I since received an update but have yet to play with it. I

Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the FT817 group: If out in the wild, what antenna would ideally use with your FT-817 on Field Day o MP-1 / PW-1 o G5RV o Homebrew vertical o

I've got a 10 pack of alkalines and 2 spades so I can tap whatever voltage. I just got a set of rechargables so I mentioned them

It is true. At last, RT Systems is ready to release it. For those of you going to Dayton, drop by and see it at our Booth. We should have copies for sale on site by Saturday. I just received the

RT Systems have just posted their computer control software for the FT-817. I have the software for the Icom IC-Q7A and it works pretty well. Has anyone tried the FT-817 software yet? It seems the

I have been using the Radio Shack roll up as a counterpoise for a few months now and it works great on 20 meters and up. I can always get a match very quickly with my AT mono band whip antennas and

From: "KQ6XA" <xtalradio@...> I can vouch for this in my experiments with the Maldol whips ... the counterpoises work MUCH better it seems when they are above the ground. My empirical experience

Hi to all. For portable antenna, i take the hamstick PRO-AM, i put it on a photographic tripod, and i add 3 radials of 0.25 wavelengh each. That work very well for 80,40,20 and 17 meter, but for 15
