I think you're right, MSRP/Early Adopter price

Hard to know without a price. Right
now it’s a brochure photo with a $35 reservation
fee. I suspect it’ll be in the vicinity of
the competing ICOM and Elecraft, so probably $2,000+
with all the options.?

Re: Keeping this group on the web
Hi William, ? On the home page of the group there is a green button in the Group information section. That takes you to the sponsorship page where you enter the amount you want to sponsor and then hit the green Continue button. That opens the payment options which include entering a credit card or using PayPal using the big PayPal banner at the bottom of the page. ? That’s how I did it a few minutes ago. ? 73….Eric VK2VE. ?

Re: Power output instable
I just put in my order for 2 modules and expected to be in stock mid November?

Re: Power output instable
I had similar odd readings on my 817N...twice...
?
High SWR, odd power and swr readings...turned out it was the finals on their way out.
Thankfully they are relatively cheap and quite easy to replace...but be warned, i replaced mine, all was working perfectly, until i plugged the battery pack back in, then it started all over again...
Yes the finals had blown again...!
I ordered a new power board, but before fitting it i checked the battery pack and one cell had died, seems it dumped the current straight into the mosfets..what a crazy "Undocumented Feature", but since replacing them for a second time, and buying a new battery pack all has been good for the past 2 years or so..
So check your battery pack and don't leave it in there constantly is my advice.
And use some high quality, non conductive thermal paste, mine was very dry which doesn't help moving that heat into the sink.
?
Hope that helps

I bought an IC-705 - my one and only radio bought new and not second-hand. It is an expensive affair, but also extremely capable. At one point I was planning on using it as my main base-station rig, supplemented with an amplifier.
?
I do tend to take the IC-705 portable more often than the FT-817, especially when I am using the Chameleon MPAS 2.0 antenna. Being a multi-band antenna the SDR on the IC-705 makes it very easy to tell which bands are open. Before the IC-705 I had a KX3 which I sold because I couldn't get on with the volume of the speaker, and I really don't like having to wear headphones on a SOTA summit, for example, where I need to be mobile.
?
Having said that, for a simpler dipole setup, and pure ruggedness, the FT-817 is hard to beat. It is a different radio to the IC-705, less capable functionally, yes, but also with its' own merits. Sound quality out of such a small box is amazing, and for the most part they transmit beautiful punchy audio too.
?
Regards, Mark.
