Re new addition to files section
Hi all Finally got a mini dv cam so I have took a couple of stills of
my 817 homebrew case (case cost about 50 pence UK sterling)using a bit of imitation thin leather and a 3" x 1" piece of clear flexi plastic (for looking at the display) for the techno guys the cam is a Panasonic NVSD55 with multimedia card so apologies for the resolution (actually I dont think it takes bad pics). You can find the pics in the Files section in Pres's Case ideas file under G0VGZ. John G0VGZ. |

Re: Repeater offsets
Do what I did, I bought a US version, ALL repeater offsets,
frequencies etc are different over here. I just programmed all our repeater freqs in memories. mod problem solved.

If you turn ARS OFF, then whatever repeatershift you last selected is what you have. Pretty much like NO ARS at all. |

I've tried to figure this one out with the program and just do not understand. I was also not being critical. It's just that you (Bob) keep improving the program so fast, I thought I had missed something. Regards, Duffy |

Re: New 817 owner
MESSAGE FOR ALVIN M NORRIS W8UJM
Dear Alvin, As a brand new FT-817 owner be sure to pick up the aftermarket "pack-it reference for the FT-817." This is a little yellow book that grossly simplifies the complexity of the FT-817 microprocessor system. Yaesu should have hired the writer of this manual to prepare the OEM manual that came with the rig.

Re: Cloning Software vs FTBasic
Hi Duffy,
I think what Brian is referring to is that you can use some of the 200 memories in the 817 memories with satellite cross-band frequencies using Split as the shift (not + or -) and set up say 5 memories for doppler compensation as suggested in the appendix of the FT-817 operating manual. This you can do now. Whereas you are waiting for FTBasic's own memories to have a cross- band capability, and then for FTBasic to do doppler shift tuning for you. Thank you Brian for your generous words. 73 Bob G4HFQ |

Re: FT-817 carry case
I believe I have the same case which says "Mudd" as the manufacture.
5 bucks at Dayton. If he'd set up set up shop next to HRO they'd have sold out even at $29.99. I can't imagine a better bag anywhere. We're out looking for a place to attach the Yaesu strap to it. I contemplated loading up and selling them on E-Bay. |

Re: High grade speaker twinlead

--- In FT817@e..., ka4lbd@a... wrote:
concerning postings #6948 and 6957. Several samples of speakerFor those with an MFJ or other antenna analyzer that can measure reactive impedance, it is possible to identify feedline Z with a simple test. First, find a frequency at which an open piece of feedline looks like an open quarter wave stub; it will read as a short. Then reduce the frequency to one half of that value. The capacitive impedance shown will equal the characteristic impedance of the line. (The input reactance of a 1/8 wave stub is equal in value to its characteristic impedance.) My MFJ has a "coax loss" mode, but I have yet to use it. THe ARRL publications I've seen lamp or speaker cord mentioned in suggest that it wil have much higher loss than coax. Cortland |

ADSP and sidetone problems
Cortland
I bought an SGC external ADSP unit, with built in speaker, very nice
package with impressive performance, a couple of years ago. However, when it is processing, it delays audio about 125 msec. This renders CW sidetone unusable and my sending more unintelligible than usual (grin). There IS a PTT input line on it, which I've not tried; perhaps that disables processing during transmit. For anyone else using an audio DSP unit, be aware processing may affect your sidetone and provide for another source if it does. Cortland ka5s |

Re: MP-1 Mobile/Portable/Pedestrian SuperAntenna for FT-817

"David Henn" <drhenn@y...> wrote:
Here is a link to somebody else who uses the "Noise Tune Method". Very similar to what I did with my modified RS back-of-set antenna and then with a radio-mounted MP-1. First adjust for noise, then adjust for SWR. One caution others have raised is that the FT-817 SWR null may not be set for 50 ohms so the "SWR" seen isn't acutally what we might think it is. However, if the antenna is accepting power and the transmitter is not turning itself down with ALC, the result is the same. Cortland |
