Yes, they are both RS232 to TTL converters. You'll need to look at
the pinouts to get your connexions straight.

FWIW, I just got a Macintosh straight-through 8-pin cable & am going
to use it on my homebrew converter. I tried using a mini-din plug
but my hands aren't steady enough to make sure the wires & pins don't
touch each other. Should be a lot easier using a pre-wired plug,
plus I'll have the other data-outs easily available. Am using a
cable off a discarded ps-2 keyboard for the data port.

HI
I have the CAT cable from my VX5/FT50 ADMS software. There is a DB9
on one side (with lever converter inside) and a stero plus on the
other. I suppose that with the proper connection ( small cable with

a

female stereo plug and a mini din)I will able to use it for my 817.
Am I wrong ?

Hello John & Group,

I think the Mirage combo 2M/70cm are FM Only, Class C.

Waters & Stanton list a Microset Linear for 2/70cm.
It is 30W on 2M, 28W on 70cm plus a pre-amp.
GBP 199.95 @ $285.

Thanks for this very good idea.
What about the gauge of the wire ? Do you think a 0.5 mm2 loud
speaker wire will be OK ?

V1.4.603 of FTBasic is now available for download at:



This version adds the ability to Convert a file of repeater
frequencies from the ARRL TravelPlus Repeater CD 2001-2002
Edition into a CSV file suitable for Import into FTBasic. This
file may then be merged in with other frequencies and loaded
to FT-847 or FT-817 rigs.

The 2001-2002 edition was the version available during
development. If anyone has an earlier version that does not
work as-is then please email me direct and I will see what I
can do to support it.

If anyone else has a well-known source of frequencies that are
in need of Convert capability please email me direct.

Hi John & Group,

I think that the 2/70 Mirage is a Class C for FM only.

Water and Stanton list a 2/70cm Linear, VUR-30 Microset.
Output 30W (2m), 28W (70cm), Low noise GaAsFET pre-amp.
It is GBP 199.95, @ $285.

I did notice that the URL given for accessing the FAQ was something
like .../FT817/databas . This did result in the "Oops" message.
However, it didn't take the brains of a rocket scientist to try
sticking an "e" on the end of the URL and trying again.

Hi Dave,

Why not join Yahoo! FT817 Group? You are not required to answer the
questions during sign up accurately (if you understand my meaning).
By not joining the FT817, you are just peeking in the window. I note
that the FT817 Group is one of the few that you can read the messages
AND post messages without being a member. Thanks to Pres Waterman
(Moderator) for understanding the merit of this approach. So Dave,
join the group and reap the benefits.

A couple of bits of news.

First I received the fix from RT Systems last night one must
presume they took a holiday weekend can't begrudge them
that. I have not tried it having found an alternative.

Second if you haven't made the plunge yet wait a bit for news
of an alternative. The big attraction for me of the RT software
was the ability to transfer data in from the ARRL Travel Plus TM
CDRom. Well RT is no longer the only game in town. It is
appropriate that the author announce his software but stay tuned.

And if you cut the wire on the battery case side (i.e. the plug, not the
rig's socket) you leave the rig "as new".

Charges at c180ish mAh so run it for two 8 or ten hour cycles and you'll e
up and away.

Frankly, I think the "settings" menu of the software still has some
bugs in it. I have the new version (it's not just a patch) and it
ups and downloads, but still appears to be some glitches in settings
file xfer.

Ok,

I got the patch and now I can save and upload files to and from the

I am trying to program a 2m repeater with an odd offset (Not 600)

and although I am able to get the numbers in the software, once I
load the file and try the radio, it is not transmitting on the input
freq I put in the software, it appears to be simplex.

Any ideas?

Does anyone know of an amp that would cover HF/6m/2m/70cm

The Mirage amps come in at least a couple of VHF/UHF models
and are pretty reasonably priced. At some point, it's
probable that we have to recognize the limits of a modular
station. :-(

I had been going to do a similar thing, based on the counterpoise
lengths I came up with, except that I had been going to make the
joins at the length for each band, so that you just unrolled the
whole thing and then break or make one connection to set the band.

I

had been going to use car-type spade terminals, since these are
readily available. I have never heard of the type mentioned in the
article, and have no idea where they may be found.

Hi Julian,

Well this was not my idea as I mentioned, but it is a fantaastic idea
and one does not need to carry loads of wires with his/her FT-817.
In fact I have made 3 sets of radial/counterpoise kits (some people
would argue that counterpoise is not the right word, but who cares
what is it called anyway) and I have given one set to my friend
G0EHX, who used it in success with his FT-817 and ATX in his short
holiday in Aegina Island last week. I kept the other 2 sets for
myself and have the one put in the FT-817's carry case, while the
other is in my newly aquired RACAL 4031's rucksack. This kit works FB
with the MP-1. I tested the setup with my ATX/FT-817 and the 8 foot
whip with the RACAL radio last Sunday in all bands except 80 meters
because I forgot. I also tested it with the MP-1 and got a fantastic
match in all bands I tried. All this just with one
radial/counterpoise.

By the way one could use car spade connectors and coloured marker ti
mark the 6 different pieces, but I used small round car wire
connectors for my sets. Of course one needs only 5 different colours
for marking them because the longest piece is white. Another idean
would be to use 6 different colour wires, but I could not find 6
different colours here.
