Vic go into chat room

www.qmac.com thats it lads & lasses the website for the hheld brick
transceiver I mentioned previousy (Could I hell remember the site) I
just typed in search for "Australia 50w military" and there it was
happy viewing. very robust but not totally qrp (up to 50w) but small
have a look at the portable ant products they have tunable portables
which will suit all you back-packers for the 817.

Worked someone on 17M who said they worked in a ham store in the San Antionio TX area and that the Yaesu had come by to show sample of the FT-817 and had possibly left on in the store as a demo. Sounds like it won't be too long till they are available here. He said no firm price had been mentioned but he heard about $800.

By the way for the one of you who do travel a lot, and plan to use the
817 for this purpose. I have been using with quite a bit of good luck a
Barker and Williamson purchased used at a ham fest. It is advertised as a
window antenna, and comes with a whip, coils for 40 to 10 metre, and a
counterpoise, and it is super easy to transport and set up. . It is not a
KT34XA but will get you signal out fairly well indeed. The price of
around 90$ is a bit high but during hamfest I have seen them very low, I
got mine for 20$ in mint condition.

Anybody aware of _good_ whip antenna design for portable HF operation?

The military market used about 15 feet of center-loaded whip -- both
on the Huges AN/PRC-74 manpack (US) and on RACAL equipment (UK). Both
had miserable efficiency -- but still much better than no antenna at
all.

Isnt there someone out there who knows of a say 50w
all band/mode linear driven by 1-5 watts for variable output ?

There's a neat, 50W design in the current ARRL handbook. It uses two
commodity (read: dirt cheap) MOSFETs at 24V/4A for 50W PEP off 2W in.

eBay usually lists 100W linears at $100 or so. The design is similar
to Motorola application notes; the box looks like a very short
production runs by no-name brands, targeting illegal CBers (5W AM/SSB
input).

BUYERS BEWARE -- you probably need a low pass filter to bring
harmonic
emissions down to US legal level (-40dBc?).

MAN! Do I agree!! Been a long time since Heathkit released the 2m
handheld with a mobile dock!!!
Too bad the PD and FD wore out the idea by constantly tearing
them up in the commercial market

Oh! sorry Paul I forgot , 50amp ? is this why the FCC back-heeled it
because the company should have printed 50watts on the Arganaut ?

huh... actually I typed, "50 amp" but you're right! There still should
have been a capital W after the 50. I think I was still laughing. :-)

Ten*Tec made a 50 WATT amp. It was called a Model 409. You can see one
in my website museum.

Glad you did not take offense John! I am still chuckling over it a few
hours later. Here in the US there is another odd term we hear in the
media frequently... a high-powered assault rifle! Like there's such a
thing as a LOW POWER assault rifle...

Now some gun fanatic will tell us all there is... but the point is
mute. When the bullets fly, I'll take a high powered assault rifle.

We will keep everyone informed on this rig and trust you blokes will do
the same. My mother came to the US from Blackpool in 1955. We may take
her back for a visit this next spring/summer.

My, its a bit quiet on the FT817 egroup front isnt it ? ever since
Paul W8KC suggested everyone to calm down by stop jumping up & down &
getting Yaesu to dump a couple of hundred $ on the price. I honestly
dont think it works this way Paul. I beleive that all the singing &
dancing excitement within this group can only justify Yaesu to export
the thing in the first place. (They originally manufactured it for
their market only !, being staunch montain back-packers in Japan) It
was
I take to be a thank you to their home buyers of Yaesu. But maybe I
am wrong, with such a product it must put Icom, Kenwood and maybe
Alinco scratching/banging their designer's heads together. Maybe the
other big boys have something similair but have been pipped to the
post? I for one know the current price of the Yen to the english
pound and if I find the price being near the ?1k mark as one
retailer
over here in the UK suggested (a profit of about 100% +) I will not
buy one, also the way the market with Amateur radio is going in
general I think ALL Emporiums worldwide should think before they
release a ridiculous seling price to us lot. after all the FT817 is a
qrp rig and I am sure the dedicated qrp lads would rather buy one of
those Australian hand held 160-10m rugged thingys (ssb/cw only) and
use their other 6/2/70 seperate gear than be ripped off by a Ham
retailer, or stick to building their own, as the qrp home-brew gear
is simpler & cheap!. We all know the approx cost of this rig and I am
sure its
worth a couple of hundred $ / ? on the Japanese price but thats
all. I also wish JA1MP was around to view the technology he
originally pioneered, (SSB & founder of Yaesu).
