Yes, welcome! Some of use are familiar with QRP and although not surprized that "qrp works!" we are surprized how good of a radio the 817 really is! 73! =paul= W8KC Collector of Ten*Tecs and other

Hi all, Very good idea to use the calendar for online activity/meetings. Pe3chi on-

Just having this radio for a few days, and I did not believe that 5 Watt of power was going to make DX possible. To test the radio performance on HF, I made an dipool antenna of some electricity

Thanks! <g> David

Thanks, great site with allot of good antenna info.

Don, Radio Works manufactures a big line of current baluns. If you go to their Web Page at www.radioworks.com I'm sure you will find the answer. It's my understanding that a current balun does a

There is a photo of a handle for the 817 in the files section, titled swiss_universal_handle. It looks pretty good. Where do you buy one? Any other experience with it? Dave KB8RRG

Can anyone enlighten me regarding the difference between a 1:1 balun marked as a "Current Type" and another 1:1 marked only as a balun? I am going to use either one to couple unbalanced coax to a

That way, Another good option...and one I am using right now..is to read the messages right off the e-group list. It's easy to follow the threads that way. Jo K5HOY

Interesting, the birdie on 436.025 MHz is S9++ but only when I connect the whip antenna. It's very weak without an antenna connected. Checked with another radio, when I switch the FT-817 off the

Thanks David, The birdies on 3.895, 7.245 and 28.873 are very weak on my FT-817. The ones you mention on 6, 2 and 70cm don't appear with my rig. But I notice birdies on 438.100, 438.900 etc. which
