GO BILLS!

And it still is not available! Go figure.

At HRO:
147) YAESU FT-817, 5W HF/VHF/UHF TCVR $769.95 (coupon/special $10.00)
$759.95

Is this a Yaesu coupon?

Should I remove the ability?

GO BILLS!

You know if may be that HRO is trying to get their price to where some other
retailers have set their price, but may not want to do it permanently. ?I
ordered mine from HRO so I hope they give me the lower price. ?Heck, I just
hope they get some and send them out. ?Last week I sent an email to Yaesu and
asked when deliveries to dealers would start. ?I received an immediate reply
that said "two weeks". ?That was the total extent of the reply.

According to the diagram and the odd pieces from various japanese
site's the two connectors are the same as the FT-100 one's, yaesu p/n
CT-62 and CT-39

Does anyone know if the packet connector is the same as the FT100?

Bonnie, I have a gut feeling the rig will be as the 706/ft100 in that
you will be able to open full tx coverage but not just add MARS freqs
yourself,i'm sure some other mod will be needed until Yaesu add it. I
may be wrong.
Regards John G0VGZ.

No John, The rig is menu programmable to do either v-uhf & hf ie. all
bands at the bnc (front) or SO239 (rear) it will come shipped with 6
2 70 on bnc & 1.6-30 on SO239.

cheers John G0VGZ.

I built this project and it works very well. I used a heat sink
substantially larger than the one the author used. I have had no thermal
problems. I built it with a switchable attenuator so that I can feed it
with 5 watts or 1 watt for full output. I get 50+ watts out on 40
meters, nearly 70 watts on 30 meters, and 60+ watts out on 15 meters. If
you do manage to blow the finals (which I have not), they only cost 75
cents each. The 28 volt power supply was a pain.
Nice design, and it works.

Mike Maiorana, KU4QO

radio???

YUCK!!!

Tracy, you are generally right, but that old "majordomo" practice
does not apply to egroups lists, since all users can set their own
preference. This list is a list that was set up by the moderator

Here is the link to set your preference:

Is it unclear whether that means present production units will be
unable to be MARS-Modded?

Folks...

Just picked up the new ARRL handbook (2001 version, I'd guess, with a
brownish colored cover). Something the prospective '817ers here may
be interested in:

There's an nifty little 1.8-30MHz power amp recipe in there; it's
based upon two power MOSFETs that seem more intended for switching
power supply use than RF use - nevertheless these little buggers work
fine thru 30MHz (there's a tad of drop-off on 10M but it's still a
useful unit) without spectral problems, distortion, etc. [The output
of this amp has switch-selected lowpass filters for the HF bands to
cutout harmonics/TVI.]

However, because of the TO-220 packaging of these power MOSFETs (TO-3
variants apparently aren't available) and the heatsink design of the
project, extended use of continuous carrier modes (FM, FSK & perhaps
AM) may fry the transistors or shorten their lives somewhat. [Do
remember that these transistors go for around $3 each, though.] But
for SSB & CW - with appropriate usage cycles - it probably is fine.
BTW, the project's "article" in the handbook has a nice bit of
thermal analysis treatment: I won't ever think of heatsinking so
cavalierly anymore.

Better (more surface area, better coupling to transistor) heat sinking
and perhaps fan assist or use of piezoelectric cooling modules could
help here. Or perhaps a rejiggering of the design using *four* of
these transistors and a power combiner setup might be interesting,
not pushing any transistors near/over their limits over time.

Parts kits, according to the project specs, are available from Mouser
Electronics.

{But by the time all's said & done, I am not sure this design may be
much cheaper than one of CCI's (Communications Concepts) offerings
using a more standard application of Motorola MRF-series power
transistors.)

Just a thought, anyway....

I agree with Bjornung; it is poor nettiquite to send unsolicited photos, as
folks with a slow connection can't receive them and it can lock up their
email so they can't access anything. Posting photos to the webpage gives
people a choice.

Howard,

Tell us more about your 8 foot whip you use. Is this a commercial
product with a BNC on it? That would be by far the longest
commercial BNC connected whip I've ever seen. I looked at the WTA-1
Maxon antenna web reference but it contained no details. Needless to
say, we'll ALL be looking for new walk-around antennas. Dayton

I did just that. There's these settings in your profile that allows
you to:

1. choose every mail or a digest
2. HTML e-mail or plain text (Plain text strips any attachment)

So I guess it's your choice.

Oops!

Sorry about that, I subscribe to several list and forgot what type this one
is!!

My appologies!
