Andy, I have used the handy little CP2102 boards to build programming cables for Baofeng HTs.
?
I was wondering if the CP2102 could be used for a FT-817 CAT Cable!
?
If you have time, please advise:
?
? How many connections to the CP2102 board (Only needed 3 for the Baofeng's) for the FT-817?
?
? Does the CP2102 cable provide only programming via Chirp etc, or can the CP2102 be used to construct a full CAT control cable?
?
? Can you provide any wiring details?
?
Thank you very much!

Re: cracked digital display
No.? First, the 818 is only 6 watts, not 10 watts.? For myself, the 6-watt output of the 818 was a big step backward.? What is a 1-watt increase in output power worth on the air?? Perhaps ? of an S-unit?? From S-5.00 to S-5.25?? Could anyone really detect that?? But what does it do for you when on battery power?? A 20% decrease in battery life is what it does.? The only thing I see good out of a 1-watt increase is perhaps more drive to an amplifier.? Even then, there are better radios for high power.? But to get the 6-watts level, you gave up the 0.5 watt level.? This was perfect for driving transverters. ? If you are going to go for a new radio, have a look at the ICOM IC-705.? I love my FT-817ND.? I have two.? But if I needed a new radio, I think the IC-705 would be picked over an 818.
Good luck finding the parts, the FT-817 IMHO is worthy of repairing. ? Mike – KD5KC -- El Paso -- Texas. ? The canyons are calling, colorful and deep.? But I have promises to keep. And miles to go still in my Jeep...?? And miles to go still in my Jeep... ?

Re: Repairing the VR-UNIT of a FT-817ND
Group, got the FT-817ND unit repaired, and did my first VHF qso to a local repeater. All functions are fine (~1.7A tx on VHF). I am missing a few screws (previous owner had no idea of types of screws) and need to get some foam padding for the new battery cover, but otherwise all is fine. The front AF knob wasn’t shipped by accident by Yaesu but they are doing so and then it will be complete, and due for a nice re-paint job. I even got a programmable switched PSU (china made,) to provide 2.5~3A limited power to the rig, which takes in 20-40VDC and outputs 13.8V. ? Do any mobile operators have comments on using switched mode power converters / supplies with this rig? Or are you all on DC battery all the time. ? BTW, I would like to ask, what’s a good low-cost remote control software/hardware for a laptop based control head? Bluetooth? Serial? ?I’ll be doing comms from my home lab and exploring some digital modes/new communication modes and need to stop adding USB ports! ? 73 de Samudra N3RDX ? ?

Re: cracked digital display
Hi,
If the radio turns on, it means that it is
not so bad, the electronics on the front panel is working.?
Can you set a FREQ by turning the VFO
knob? Connect the radio to the
CAT and check everything. First:
If? TRX working except display, the cost is about $50 only for
the display in Yaesu Service. REMEMBER: When buying a display, you must provide
the serial number (S/N) of TRX because, depending on the
year of production, different display drivers and firmware
in the front panell? processor were used. Second:
You have damaged plexi on front, you need to buy RA027150B
FRONT PANEL ASSY -
~$29 + Shipping.? If you except diplay have damaged also
RA0283700 REFLECTOR SHEET, RA0271600 LIGHT GUIDE, RA0283600
REFLECTOR SHEET you can buy this also in Yaesu Service (I
bught these parts this year for a few dollars per part). In summary, the cost of the repair
should be no more than $100, not $600. This is

Re: cracked digital display
On the other hand, it just struck me that the ham can make up an interface (cheap) to the FT-817 from his / her laptop and continue to use the radio … so no need to go deep into hardware just yet.

Re: cracked digital display
Hmmm, ? The Yaesu part numbers have commercial equivalents, I wonder who is the manufacturer (typ. S. Asia) as I can’t seem to locate it through google? I did a search on the mfr part number DU3L1AF005A from the service manuals. FT-817/FT-817ND ?DS4001 LCD Unit – DU3L1AF005A – Q7000291 ? If a manufacturer could be identified, perhaps the original poster would be lucky in calling them from his QTH and asking for a sample / repair single order qty. I think it may be a japan/china/Taiwan source, but need to know more designators/icons on the LCD panel. Does anyone have a broken FT-817 to inspect? ? 73 de Samudra N3RDX ? ?

Re: cracked digital display
Hi, again,
If the whole front panel is
damaged, show us what it looks like, maybe it's not so bad.

found the screen was cracked.
I contacted Yaesu and they insisted?I needed to replace 2
items which if combined was around $600 as my son mentioned
for that price would be like buying a new radio.
