My guess is its customised to 150 or 300mw it has 3 or 4 settings, however a set like this will surely wind down internally to milliwatts not being like the FT100/IC706 and only having a 10w amp I would have thought it shouldnt be a problem. another thought is use lowest dc current in possible 8v ?? may reduce it further. this will also reduce heat dissipation from components as opposed to using 13.8v. keeping case cool (that's if it does get warm at all on rx). de John --- In FT817@..., Rohn Blake <rohn@p...> wrote: Apologies if this has been covered... has anyone heard how low the power can be dropped?

Well I have to ask...

and it over due for retirement... LOL
Has any one gotten prices yet in US dollars???

Cannot remember where I seen figures but it should, if I remember correctly draw 150ma on low to medium vol levels ok if you have cans on or are listening with a quiet background. But also bear in mind most handies draw similair currents and run of approx 4 AA cells , the 817 has 8 AA cells. Personally this has not deterred me in the slightest. Thank goodness Yaesu have had the decency to add an AA holder as opposed to a custom sealed ni-cd pack or similair. We all know the AA battery is now an industry standard in most applications, the technology is slowing to ideas of shrinking components with low consumption. This leaves it wide open to battery manufacturers to take over. Again watch this space , My guess is that we will see an AA Li-on cell with voltage to 1.5v as opposed to 3.6v (as present) with excellent amps per hour possibilities, hence a good life for all us FT817 user's.

I guess the numbers make sense. About 3 watts dissipated at full volume (1 watt or so of audio out).
Anyone?

If the receive current of the ft-817 is truly 450mA as our
friend from
Japan has said, I seriously doubt I'll buy one. I had heard
earlier that
the receive current was around 150mA.
I wonder why the disparity in these numbers?

That's pretty high alright, but about what I expected. I'll probably buy
one, but as more of a "pocket 847" rather than a serious manpack/QRP rig. I
already have plenty of those anyway, although I'm always on the lookout for
another.

FW: ARLB039 ARRL seeks monitoring reports on 10 and 12 meters
here is some information or a survey for 10 meter intruders (bootleggers and
such). This will help them show how much illegal activity is on the band.

ARLB039 ARRL seeks monitoring reports on 10 and 12 meters
In an effort to better document the extent of unlicensed operation
on Amateur Radio frequencies, particularly 10 meters, the IARU
Region 2 Monitoring System is surveying member societies about the
extent of the problem. In order to provide statistical backing for
its response, ARRL is soliciting reports from American hams to
supplement its response to the survey.
ARRL Monitoring System Administrator Brennan Price, N4QX, is
accepting reception reports from amateurs for a two-week period,
from October 1 to October 14. Observations should include date and
time in UTC, frequency, mode of the transmission, language, if
known, and any notes which might assist in identifying the source.
Observations should also be limited to amateur frequencies, focusing
on 10 and 12 meters.
Price urges monitors to use caution before documenting a
transmission as probably unlicensed. ''Most countries do not mandate
a segregation of voice and digital modes, as the United States
does,'' Price says. ''A phone transmission between 28.0 and 28.3
MHz is not necessarily illegal in the country where that
transmission occurs, and if valid amateur call signs can be made
out, the transmission should not be reported. However, lower
sideband and AM transmissions between 28.0 and 28.1 MHz are usually
unlicensed, and may be treated with suspicion.''
Reports should be e-mailed to Price at n4qx@.... All reports
will be acknowledged, and respondents will receive a summary of the
survey results via email.
