Re: CW Filter / IRC 500 hz installation

CW Filter / IRC 500 hz installation
Hello FT817 owners,
I bought my FT817 at Dayton and finally got it on the air yesterday (6/2). Today I went to install the 500hz IRC CW filter which I also bought at Dayton but it doesn't seem to be working. Yes, I changed menu item 38 to CW. Both the CW and OFF positions sound the same. When putting the filter menu into the SSB position it sounds filtered but it sounds like the CW is partially getting cut off. On SSB the signals are unintelligible with the filter set to ON (SSB that is). Again the SSB signals sounds the same with the filter in the CW and OFF positions. So it sounds like the filter may be working but only when menu item 38 is set to SSB, however, it doesn't sound like any 500 hz CW filter I have ever heard. I'll be calling IRC tomorrow and I am sure they will either have any answer or will ship a new one because they have always given great service and stood behind their products. I am just wondering if anyone else experienced this though ???????? 73 Jerry N9AW n9aw@... |

Re: CAT-Interface circuit plan wanted!
In the files section, the schematics folder.
I built the CAT/Clone cable portion of the 817cat.gif cable and it works for me. I used generic "high speed switching" NPN's from Radio Shack and picked up the resistors & DB9 there. I picked up the mini-din from my local parts store. If you search the archive I also listed a local store that will ship out the mini-dins. 72/73, Bryan - k0emt On 6/3/01, 2:47:45 PM, Christian.Frankl@... wrote regardingOriginal Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< [FT817] CAT-Interface circuit plan wanted!: ...

Re: Press Waterman!!!!!!!
To bad John, I was hoping the supply Press was talking about was not a swithching supply.
I did buy a CUP36-12-1 which is the one Universal radio sells and found there was a LOT of RF hash when using a whip antenna like the ATX. I did try several chokes and nothing helped. Universal said in their ad "we also added a surface mount capacitor right inside the plug to reduce RFI. " I dont see how that would help? If so I would do it in a second and be done with this hunt for THE supply. My kingdom for a analog 2 amp wall wart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 73 Bill W9WCR |

Re: Voltage vs. Power out
Keith Randino
Barry,
That is exactly what I have now. I was thinking that by taking all of my packs and putting them in parallel I would slow the voltage drop considerably and keep my power output higher longer. I have never heard of putting batteries in parallel as a problem. Could you elaborate please. I don't know why this would be a bad idea. Thanks for the response, Also Doug thanks for your information also. I will look over those charts. Looks like a great site! Thanks! 72, Keith N1XTK |

Re: 8000 FT-817 Statistic (vertex's estimated profit)
Understand Bonnie. I think we can both agree that the guesstimates
becomes more of a SWAG as the size and diversity of the corporation increases! With all this continuing success of the FT-817, it will be a while before the "Mk II" version comes out. It will be interesting to see how the declining solar cycle will play into the decisions made by Vertex in the next round of products. Notice that most have a life cycle of about 5 years with them. The bottom of the cycle is about then and QRP will be a bit more challenging. :-) 72 de Barry - W4WB --- In FT817@y..., "KQ6XA" <xtalradio@a...> wrote: Barry W4WB wrote:business.if Vertex is making a good profit, great for themMore power to them, Barry!

I was originally replying to several posts which mused about how much was being made from manufacturing FT-817s. My guesstimate on what's left after the bean counters was based solely upon personal experience as a manufacturing engineer and corporate executive in the consumer electronics business. Could be off by a factor of 2 or so. Bonnie KQ6XA |

I'm not interested in $$$ -- just having fun w/my FT-817!
(I'm still trying to put together an interface cable -- don't want to pay Yaesu the incredible $$$ for a simple cable.!)

I have one of these and tried it with the 817 but it does seem to generate a good amount of RF hash. Has anyone found a 2A wall wart type transformer that works with the 817 without the hash ? Has anyone tried the PS that Universal Radio sells for the 817 73, John N3ZQJ Pres Waterman wrote: What is the model number for your supply!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Re: 8000 FT-918 Statistic (vertex's estimated profit)
I have no idea what the point of this discussion is; however, if
Vertex is making a good profit, great for them --- they have earned it and whatever else is yet to come. A general rule of thumb is that the non-recurring cost to build (CTB) should be about 20% of the retail price (or $150 in this case). Looking at the construction of the 817, this is in the ballpark for CTB. So that means that perhaps there is a GROSS profit of about $600 per unit. Out of this GROSS profit comes retail dealer margin, marketing, warranty, service & support, amortized R&D, shipping, general overhead, benefits, and so on. What is left is the NET profit. In most large companies, this is where the accountants do their "magic" in cost allocation. On a gross sales of $6,000,000, I could easily believe that the books could show a net profit of from a loss to maybe $2,000,000. The real point here is that we should all be delighted (except maybe folks at ICOM, Kenwood, etc.) that Vertex hit a home run with this product. Their management will be more willing in the future to invest in this "small segment" of their overall business. That is good for all of us and ham radio in general. 72 de Barry - W4WB --- In FT817@y..., "theshadow" <theshadow@s...> wrote: Does that take account of R&D ??Asked Questions ) see |
