Curious why you are interested in running digital modes off a raspberry pi? (To be clear, "just because" is a perfectly fine answer)

The FT817 Group averages over 500 (+/-130 one-sigma) messages
per month. Because the volume of messages is rather large, I would
like to remind everyone of a few long-standing FT817 guidelines to
follow. Most of you do so already.

1. Civility. (This is practiced well by our members!)

2. Please sign your messages with name and call sign, e.g.,
Fred - W1XYZ.

3. When replying to a posting (message), kindly delete all
unnecessary text including the trailing text. Only leave the text
from the prior message to which you are replying ... <snip> the
rest. If one desires to read the entire thread, the command [Up
Thread] at the top of the message can be used to read the entire
discussion. Remember also that a lot of members have slow
connections and some even pay connect time or characters rx/tx. This
also helps the clarity of your message.

4. When replying to a post, please decide if your comment should be
to the entire group of about 10,000 or directly to the author of the
post. When you click on "Reply," it goes to everyone. To reply
direct (simplex), you should click on the email address following the
user ID line at the top of the post. Notice that only a part is
shown for privacy. Also, please think about if what you are about to
post in reply to the group really should be to the group ... replies
like "I sure do agree with that" doesn't add much to the group. Send
thoughts like those direct to the poster please.

5. It is fine for members to post something for sale or wanted to
buy ... once per item(s). All questions and offers to buy/sell
should be made directly to the poster, not to the Group. The member
posting the FS or WTB may post that the item(s) was/were
sold/purchased.

6. Posting of commercial items for sale by manufacturers or dealers
is also fine, but should be done on an infrequent basis. The FT817
members benefit by learning of hardware, software, sales, etc. before
it appears in magazines, etc.

7. New members are all moderated until their first posting. If it
follows the guidelines, it is approved and the member is change to
unmoderated status. This list is a partially moderated list, i.e.,
only first message is moderated while later messages are monitored
after posting. If an unmoderated posting is found by the moderators
to have a problem, then the poster is contacted directly to resolve.
Actions are taken against those that chronically violate the rules.
The reason for this form of moderation is to block spammers from the
list and it has been working.

8. Do not add disclaimers to your posts that (1) restrict the ability
of other members to use the information you post, (2) claim a copyright
to your post, or (3) to claim any type of "rights" as a consequence of
another member replying to your post either directly to you or to the group.

Thanks to all es 73,

Hello All,

Easiest way is to see it the display can be changed to two colors or three. The 817 has two colors and the 817ND has three. Check this link for list of differences.?

Hi Don,

As far as I know, one of the best ways to identify the ND model is to check Menu Item #15.

If you have 3 display colors, ie, Blue, Amber, and Violet, then you have the ND model.

Check this out and see how many display colors you have.

Erlend,

what you should see on pin 1 is the DC input voltage, fed from a 10Ω, 1/16W resistor. This can only supply 75mA, or the thermal rating of R1235 will be exceeded. If you are not seeing 13V or so, then you may be measuring at the wrong pin. The diagram on page 5 of the user manual is, AFAIK, as seen from behind the pins of the plug.

There is a more recent version of the service manual to be found online, though I can't remember quite where I found it.

HTH, 73,

Hi Howard,
Were you? a ship R/O ?
Ship photo on your qsl card looks like sister ship of the old American? Export
Lines box boats. Matson Lines had a couple.? Built Bath, Maine.
Export had 6, then 5 after Seawitch burned up. I was 3/Mate on Export Patriot, and Lightning for short trips. A couple of them converted to crane ships for military reserve. I think one or two in mothball fleet still.

Hi guys and gals,



One of the big advantages, apart from the higher capacity, of having
the Windcamp battery in mine is that the cover plate which comes with
is has, not only the charging connection, but also a power switch
which totally disconnects the battery from the radio. I can leave it
for months and know that when I next go to use it, it will be ready,
willing and able.

I have both the Windcamp battery with the switch on the cover plate, and
the Anderson Power Plug connector in the back of my 817ND.
With the battery switched out, it is ready to go regardless of how many
weeks between portable activations.
I use what was a spare Windcamp battery, and a Windcamp charge
controller, built into a little plastic case for my auxiliary battery.
Not as much power as the one in the original post, but a long portable
activation can see both used.
