Re: multi function encoder
I got around to completing this repair today.
Yaesu sent me a Q9000795 rotary encoder (Alps, appears to be identical to the original one), they also sent me a new knob RA026960B. Total cost including

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
The finals are only one place that you can lose power.
Drivers, Predriver, transformers, and (on mine) one of the power switch transistors to the predriver supply all can cause low power.
It is quite

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
Yes, and presumably the 'new in box' FT-817 the OP got would have that issue...

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
The self oscillation problem on the original 817 can be dealt with on the
older original PA board interface by reversing the phase for the input to
it, I've done that to each 817 that has landed in my

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
The original, FT-817 finals used transistors that are no longer available, so technically the rep was correct, BUT...
The FT-818 has a (slightly) redesigned finals board that has a new, readily

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
Mike,
Besides the normal "transmit into non-resonant/non-existing antenna, blow finals" issue a Z817 can help with, there is the "battery pack drains, the finals self-oscillate and fry themselves"

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
Were these FT-818 finals or FT817? When I called a couple of months back, the service guy told me no 817 finals are available and none are planned on being made due to lack of transistors

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
I recommend getting the interface cable for it, if you don't have it, so it reduces power during tuning.

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
I bought a finals board for my 817ND from Yaesu UK last month. It arrived in two days.

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
I recently got a new in box 817 non ND. I just got the z817 tuner. I sure

I don't think the first gen 817 can be repaired

Hi Peter, I had the same problem on the FT817 and I solved it by replacing the Q3003 and Q3005 HSU277 diodes. I hope this helps
