Re: USB Interface for FT8?
The SignaLink has lots of features for aiding in adapting it to various rigs.? Inside is a 16 pin socket for configuring the interface cable to the radio for the signals, one puts jumpers into it?

Re: USB Interface for FT8?
I agree with Dan. I use a signaling with my Icom 756,7000,706,705,Yaesu ft817, 891 and my KX3. It just works. I use the remade jumpers for easy swap to other radios. ~ Don

Re: results of new US antenna design - advice sought
Al, You might read on how an antenna tuner works. Tuners do more than just make the radio happy. It will result in getting more power into the antenna/radiator.? Now what the radiator does with that

Re: USB Interface for FT8?
The SignaLink is excellent interface and can get a USB version.? Also I am sure you can get the custom cable for the FT817, I did once for the fT857.? It plugged into the rear DATA port on the

Re: USB Interface for FT8?
I use the signalink. It¡¯s older, but solid. Well supported, good isolation, etc. It¡¯s not the cheapest solution, but I also didn¡¯t have to spend time setting everything up, it ¡°just worked¡±,

Re: USB Interface for FT8?
The SignaLink SLUSB6PM connects to the 6 pin mini-din on the back of the FT-817ND and should work fine. There are other more recent sound interface devices, but they are newer with less service

Hmm, Al WB9UBJ, I would point out that the NEDA antenna that I designed from the reference material I was able to gather (mentioned by others in this thread) is half-wave length in total and

USB Interface for FT8?
I'm planning to venture into FT8 for the first time, and I'm going to use my FT-817.? I'm looking for a USB interface (w/ sound card), and it looks like the SignaLink SLUSB6PM might be the most

You know, I dread that day of moving to "assisted" living, too. Perhaps you're allowed a computer and can check into "Hamsphere" or "CWHotline" to stay active in the hobby. I'm sure a local ham would

Re: results of new US antenna design - advice sought
Guys, It seems that you have missed exactly what this antenna is.? The cage acts like a capacity hat, adding enough impedance at the ends to bring the antenna to resonance.? I think you may also be

Re: results of new US antenna design - advice sought
I¡¯m mindful that a dummy load has a pretty good SWR. So what would be a good metric for a new antenna? Likewise, adding a tuner, in my mind, does not make an antenna better, only more compatible

A headline such as? "Results of new US antenna design" is somewhat disappointing when all references in this thread indicate it's a revisit of published material from 50 years ago. SWR is NOT --IS
