Coming to America

Just FYI, a copy of an email from Yaesu.

--------------------
Dear Mike,
Ft-817 HF/VHF/UHF 5-WATT BACKPACK TRANSCEIVER will be introduced in the
market soon. Thanks and best regards.

Seems like they have already decided to sell it here in the States.
Seems to me that 4th quarter is a bit soon, unless they have already
started the FCC approval process. Anyway, time will tell.

FT 817 - HF also portable?

Christian Buenger
 

Hi FT-817er's ...

Does anybody know if the FT-817 includes a portable HF antenna? I saw a picture with a looooooooooong ;) rubber duck antenna... Is this one for shortwave?

The 817

Jack Bilow
 

Hi Everyone!
SOunds like a neat rig...alpha-numeric too? I just hope they extend
receive, but, I know the FCC is clamping down. I will sit back, wait
and see, and check to see if there are as many problems like the
FT100-which by the way I have.

2 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

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: 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.
