Re: my ft 817 flashes unstable
Seems to me the radio is trying to TX out of band with the TX error flashing on the screen Mick SA4MDN

Re: my ft 817 flashes unstable
Could it be that there's a transmit offset that puts the frequency out of band? John G4EDX [email protected]> wrote: -- John Fletcher

Dear Al transmiting only on amateur radio frequencies, yes the display flashes, on 11 in the menu i have batt=volt, and pressing F after rotate i can see on the left the voltage 13.1 volts the mode on

Re: my ft 817 flashes unstable
Rami, I still don't understand "bands flashing".?? Are you saying that the display for frequency flashes?? That occurs when you are trying to transmit on a frequency the radio is not programmed to

To the original poster (on3plz ?): I've been following this thread, and maybe I've missed something, but I have a question that I don't see any answers to-? particularly since this is a ft817 group-

Fred. Can you ?try the link ?again? I deleted the original post because I did not hyperlink the URL. Send me a DM if you still have an issue as the reposted message does work for me.

Re: Measuring the output power
No multimeters do not measure power.? Nor will they respond to voltage at frequencies? the FT818 will work at. IMHO all Ham should have a SWR meter and one that is calibrated for power.? It can be

Bernard, The website you provided does not work. Could it be a typo? The call is not good on QRZ. Maybe the website is no longer around? Fred/N7PN [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Measuring the output power
You can build a simple RF probe but you need to calibrate it. ?A simple SWR meter does not measure power over a wide range of frequencies. ?If possible, borrow a Bird 43 wattmeter from a local
Re: my ft 817 flashes unstable
It sounds like you need to look at the radios reference frequency/tcxo if it has it fitted, Or the std module, Dave 2E0DMB [email protected]> wrote:

Re: my ft 817 flashes unstable
thanks for you reply i have everything on display but the bands flashing dont work? only when i put voltage up to 14 volts some bands about 4 only become stable

Flashes?? Does it indicate anything on the display?? HSWR, or something else?? Do you have a battery installed? -- Al Skierkiewicz WB9UVJ

Re: Measuring the output power
Multimeters rarely will measure above a couple of hundred Hz.? You could use an RF probe and a dummy load.? I bought a Surecom power meter on Amazon a few months back for UHF and VHF.? They also
Re: Measuring the output power
And with a good dummy load. Or use a terminating wattmeter such as the Bird 6104 Which has scales down to 2W FSD. 73¡­.Eric VK2VE. Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2024 1:55 AM To:

Re: Measuring the output power
The best way is with an accurate wattmeter. I have a Bird 43 with an assortment of slugs, including 5 and 10 watt slugs for HF, VHF and UHF bands. Zack W9SZ [email protected]>

my ft 817 flashes unstable
Hello , Have you encountered this problem? my ft 817 worked very well for 2 years in digital mode, now it flashes on all bands if I increase the voltage towards 14 volts it stabilizes on a few
