Denny, don't worry overly much about not having a beam; they do much more for receive than for transmit. A wire dipole or sloper that is in the clear will work just fine. At 20M and up, it is almost

Thanks for all the responses. I've never been one to use high power...100W is the end of my budget. I did notice that the only one to mention a lot of 'easy DX' was running a 4 elem beam @ 65' and

Since this sort of thing has been discussed here before, I'm including some info about an e-group called "HFpack" that generally covers HF Portable & backpacking operation:

Folks... Any 817 owners out there that know about use of "AA" rechargeables in the rig? [As opposed to buying the Yaesu pack]. I'd like to put in some of those Maha hi-capacity NiMH cells... Is

I have only been reading the mail on the FT817 issues and debate over power, and think of all that I have read and opinions expressed... James has really hit the point ! Both in terms of

Well I've been playing with the new FT-817 for about three hours now. Wow very impressed with the unit. Made many contacts (New York, South Africa, England, and a very rare Hawaii from Florida here)

Well, I have lived most of my adult life in apartments and only recently got myself a house with a small lot. I have, for the above mentioned reason, been forced to use strange and mostly

Hi all Have been following the 817 thru this group. Now that Yaesu has shipped some to the US, my interest has grown. The literature say the rig is 2.5W on anything less than 13.8vdc (unless reset

This is to funny.

Tune around any HF band and note how many S9+20db signals you hear. If that station is running 1500 watts, 2.5 watts will still be approximately S7. I know you've heard all that before, so let me

2M QRP definitely works; I used to regularly talk to a friend 150 miles away using 3 watts SSB into a 2-wavelength Yagi at 20 feet. Good luck finding someone to work CW though; I always had to set up

Are there any usable HF portable antennas for the 817...?? I was thinking of along the lines of the antennas from Tokyo Hypower for the HT 750 ( see at; http://users.erols.com/tjmc/ant750.jpg

Hi happy to hear that you received your 817 ,Iam not alone anymore. Can you please check if the unit still has the SSB mike gain software bug . Turn to menu 46 and adjust the ssb mike gain above 64
