Re: FT-817 Capabilities!
Hi Chuck (& the gang),
If YAESU are sensible they will make the 817 menu driven to allow certain circuitry to be switched off i.e. display backlight, speaker audio, syllabic squelch (that's tone or voice activated squelch on HF)! all designed to keep current consumption low. The most sensible thing they could do is subscribe to this reflector! ...... anyone want to suggest that to them! I guess the YAESU USA would hold most sway with the manufacturer...... Just a thought! 73's Vic G7PYR |

Re: FT-817 Mods???
Powerwerx
开云体育Another use that a friend of mine will use this new radio for
is a Microwave base reference frequency.
?
Apparently, they take a very small (in power) precise signal
and inject it into there homebrew multipliers and amplifiers and come out on 2.4
gig.
?
Not really too familiar with this application, but the small
power and stable frequency has them all very excited.
?
(Quite a few of these microwavers are using Icom 706 and
FT-100 radios, but they guys say they have way too much power for their
applications.)

Ok guys, my tongue was firmly planted in cheek on that last email.

However, I'm sure someone will figure out how to get 7 watts out of it instead of 5. Big hootie power!!!! Also, I'm sure someone will ask "How can I hook the ft-817 up to a linear?" :-) I've got 4 months to save my pennies for this rig. I can't wait! I wonder what the price will be? The FT-100 is running under $1000 US. It would have to be cheaper, right? Regards and 72 Mike M. KU4QO vtuff59795@... wrote:

FT-817 Mods???
Paul R. Valko
Does anyone have a list of mods for the FT-817 yet??? I am interested in
out-of-band TX for MARS, CAP, CB, FRS, police/fire, etc. Thought I'd be the first to ask. Satirically yours, Paul W8KC 73! =paul= W8KC Collector of Ten*Tecs and other fine plastics. Visit the Virtual Ten*Tec Museum at: <> |

Avalibility of the FT-817
Gentlemen,
just got this e-mail from YAESU UK (so I guess it is relevant to the rest of Europe), << Dear Mr Tuff, Thank you for your e-mail. I had received the reply from Japan separately today as well. The FT-817 is a new product that was originally only planned for the Japanese domestic market. However as a result of the demand generated our Corporate HQ is looking at the possibility of making it available in Europe and the USA. The decision has not been made yet, but I am hopeful that we will be able to announce something at the Leicester Show (Big Ham rally in the UK) in September. >> Lets keep our fingers crossed! 73's Vic G7PYR |

Seen the FT-817...
Mike Naselroad
Went to the ARRL New England Convention in Boxboro, MA
yesterday. The people at the Yaesu booth had a prototype of the FT-817 with them. It was a nice looking small radio. I noticed the BNC jack on the front of the radio, but they didn't have any rubber duck antenna attached to it. If I had seen a antenna attached to it, it would've made me ask which bands it was for. They didn't have any brochures there for the radio. I asked when they expect it to be released in the US and they said hopefully in December. Mike - N1EVH n1evh@... |

Hi Gang,That's 'famous' not 'infamous'!

FT-817 causes quite a stir on the ELECRAFT Reflector
Victor Tuff
Hi Gang,
I just found this reflector and thought I'd share a few interesting threads. I was one of the early Field Testers for the now infamous ELECRAFT K2 QRP kit (SN#00039) and am still a member of that reflector. About 3 days ago someone mentioned the FT-817 as most people on the K2 group are avid QRP'ers so he thought most would be interested in this new rig. Well he together with myself who also contributed to the input were pounced on by a mixture of very interested fellow HAMS who wanted to know more and some who considered it sacrilege to mention any rig other than the K2 on it's reflector. Myself and many others took the veiw that YAESU saw the stir that QRP was making and thought that they would enter the fray, it also shows that the indiginous QRP Novice rigs in Japan are filtering out to the rest of the world. For those who couldn't find the official pictures on YAESU Japans website here is the URL << a 'military' type packset even if that means customising theI myself would want one for use portable configured as installation. I would also want it modified for wide band Tx for use on the Military channels issued here in the UK to the Air Cadets (like the Civil Air Patrol and MARS Mods). I'll stay on this reflector and as soon as they become available for sale anywhere...... I'LL BUY ONE! 73's Vic Tuff G7PYR |

Newbie
Hello from the Eastern Shore of MD
I just heard about the 817 a few days ago and have seen the pix and the spec sheet. Let me say that I am very excited about this rig coming to the US market. The only NEW radio I have every purchased in nearly 40 yrs as a ham has been the Yaesu FT-290MKII. This FT-817 will be the 2nd if good reports are had on it and I hope to hear the reports on this list!

FT 817 w/ tuner?

I guess that brings up another point. Did they say if the 817 includes anhmm... that's good point... A tuner for five watts is really small... YOu would just need a few coils and capacities... But I don't think that it contains one. Otherwise it would have been mentioned, because this would be a major advantage... Think of it.. Just attach a few feet of wires and your on air...
