Re: Ft817 shuts off at 10 volts?
The Windcamp battery also works below 10v.

ALC throwing tantrum
Hello,
I'm using a generic CAT bluetooth device paired with a DIN/P2 cable
connected to FT8CN for an FT8 interface. Out of whim, once or twice, if I
TX at 5 W on 10 m, the ALC goes to 0. If I change

Re: Ft817 shuts off at 10 volts?
I was thinking the same thing. The Windcamp is a 3 series lithium-polymer. Cutoff being between 2.5-3.0V per cell at the lowest, and 3.0-3.5V per cell on the conservative side, could easily land you

Re: Ft817 shuts off at 10 volts?
Just a thought - if the battery has an integrated BMS then it may be that that's cutting out rather than the radio.

Re: Ft817 shuts off at 10 volts?
Just to add that it's best to measure the voltage at the dc connector so as to take into account any voltage drop in the power lead.
Also IIRC Yaesu recommend using 13.8v as input if calibrating the

Re: Ft817 shuts off at 10 volts?
The radio will work below 10v, the stock NiMh pack is 9.6v, you usually
won't get full power at that voltage.
There is a volt meter calibration in the service menu. I have done this, as

Re: Ft817 shuts off at 10 volts?
I did a POTA activation for probably 1 hour of transmission time before it shut off. Possible a little more? Can’t remember for sure the exact time. Thanks

Re: Ft817 shuts off at 10 volts?
Yes, I think that's normal. I have the exact same radio and setup, but with a new Windcamp setup. I've yet to deplete it, but haven't used it much . Maybe the older windcamp battery is just tired, or

Hello group! I recently bought a non- ND model Yaesu Ft817 that has the Windcamp 3000mah battery installed. I can charge the battery up to 12v but, once voltage drops down to around 10v the rig shuts

Re: Chirp issues? Old 817. Distant stories of bricks
I have used CHIRP for programming for many years.? I have used it for FT817, FT818, FT70D and UV5R radios of my own and two or three for other people.? I also mentored others doing it themselves.?

I have to agree at least to the fact that I also use CHIRP and also have YAESU radios that I have copied the memories from to keep as a backup and restore or clone. Recently also have copied

Hello,
Due to first hand experience, I will never use CHIRP again to program any radio!
I bricked my 817ND with it. I had to pay for the recovery procedure at Yeasu,? due to using CHIRP. Yeasu stated
