Re: NorCal QRP BLT tuner
Glyph
You may or may not be aware that the BLT tuner is just as it's named:

Balanced Line Tuner. It's for balanced lines only (ladder line, TV ribbon, etc.) and not for any antennas designed for coax feed. It can be built into a very small container. -- Bil KD6JUI ----- Original Message -----

preliminary features

开云体育A little birdie tweeted:

Here is some preliminary information about the new transceiver. Keep in
mind that this list will grow as more information becomes available, and it's
all subject to change. We're expecting them to hit the streets in Q4 of this
year!
?
Sounds very nice... I can just see this rig in a leather carry
case. Looking forward to it.

questions:
?
The 2
battery packs, Internal or External, if External are the clip on ala the x90R
II's?
?
I saw
the list price might be 110,000 yen. Anyone know what the Japanese list price is
for the FT-100 for comparison?
?
This is
a cool idea for a radio!

hello to the gang
Pres Waterman
开云体育Well! In 15 hours we have over 20 people on the
list... including some "dignitaries" who can introduce themselves if
they wish.
?
Speaking of introductions, to get the ball
rolling why don't you all say hello and give a few proposed applications you
plan to put this little rig to.
?
Camping might be a very popular option.
Boating... BICYCLE!!! Hmmm.
?
Myself, I am a car dealer, and am in and out of
vehicles often. It's a drag to install, even temporarily, regular radios.
Although I own 2 FT-100's ( the newest not even out of the box ) I may consider
selling one and making the 817 the travel/temporary rig and the FT-100 for base
use.
?
I was lucky enough to attend the Tokyo Ham-fair
last year. Of course I would have liked to return last week, and there was even
an airfare sale! But alas, the schedule did not permit. But luckily the fellow
from Mexico took pictures. I hope we all have the URL from his page but if not I
can probably repost it.
?
Well, over to you all! And
welcome...

Re: New file uploaded to FT817
Charles Scott
Another interesting feature of the images on that web site is this one. If
you look closely, you can see that the antenna connected to the jack on the back of the radio has what appears to be a tuned counterpoise sticking out at a right angle to the verticle portion of the antenna. I wonder if that's an antenna that the low power portable HF types already know about or if this is something relatively new that's being done for this radio. In any case, it certainly helps to solve some of the problems with limited space antennas for HF portable operation. Although, my preference would still be a lightweight tuner and a wire antenna when possible. I guess that brings up another point. Did they say if the 817 includes an integral tuner. That would be a real plus and since a tuner that could handle random antennas at 5 watts could be real small, I'd think it was a possibility. But then there are things like the LDG QRP tuner and some considerably smaller I believe. Oh! ... Welcome to the list everyone. Chuck - N8DXN |

Newbie
Hello from the Eastern Shore of MD
I just heard about the 817 a few days ago and have seen the pix and the spec sheet. Let me say that I am very excited about this rig coming to the US market. The only NEW radio I have every purchased in nearly 40 yrs as a ham has been the Yaesu FT-290MKII. This FT-817 will be the 2nd if good reports are had on it and I hope to hear the reports on this list!
