I checked with a friend of mine who has a FT-857 He also said that he can hear the same thing on 7,239.He said it is weak but still there. Guess that problem is the same with all the Yaesu radios of

Re: Yaesu FT817
Hi Robert, The birdie on about 7238 kHz is well documented, for instance this bit from KA7OEI¡¯s website at : http://www.ka7oei.com/ft817_oops.html. ¡°One thing to keep in mind about birdies on HF

Re: Recommend me a battery pack
Mike, as others already said your battery looks to be in bad conditions and need to be replaced. Anyway do not expect so much from this batt even if its new. It is lasting quickly. The external

I have carried the 817 up a bunch of SOTA summits. I have been using a 11.1 volt rc car battery. I attached velcro to the radio, and to my batteries. One battery in the picture is swollen and done
