Hello 817 ops, I experience quite a bit of noise when operating in the cw mode, especially when i install a good antenna. Yaesu optional CW filter installed and seems to work, Narrow button on, I

I just tried that. Clipping a piece of stiff wire to the tip of the whip. I did get it to resonate but it took 46 inches of wire and was mechanically pretty flimsy - don't breathe hard it will fall

After going through far too many AA Duracells, I have broken down and purchased what was called a Power Kit from www.PowerPortStore.com (those folks who make the WorldPouch etc.) which is a 12 volt

The curious thing about that is you would think that they would design them to be a little low in frequency so that all you would have to do is push the whip in a little to get it where you want it.

Found the same box in "Gander Mountain" (hunting, fishing, camping stores in Midwest)last night. They had two sizes. $10 and $12. I picked one up. I'll let you know how it works out with my

Hello Rene, I don't think you should be worried at all. One bar on the SWR meter is most likely insignificant. My 817 sits here on my desk, connected to a portable tuner with a built in SWR

I'm sure a sked would be a waste of your time, but with 6m you just never know. HI HI 73's Julio

Hi Listmembers, On the FT-817, mono and stereo plugs and headphones work excellent. No need to use any adapters. Greetings: Franz

After an afternoon of FB operation on 6 m with the FT-817 I decide to install the SSB filter. Since I was half way I decide to make the extended TX mod. I was using a "regular" soldering iron.

Julio, I plan to be in Alaska (Anchorage, Denali, Fairbanks) with my '817 in September. Will be happy to try a sked on 6m, hi hi.

How many you guys (and gals) taking your 817 out somewhere interesting for Field Day here in the U.S.? I'm biking out to a state park in California's hot country with a solar panel, a 5-ah battery,

Thanks for th message Steve. Yes 6m is a great band, very exciting at times. I only need Alaska for WAS on 6m, bad part is I've need it as my last state for about 15 years. Alaska not heard in Florida

Jealousy. Yeah, that's the right emotion. tom wa2phw It's central true S9 got the also on 10 didn't get

In 25 years + of hamming I NEVER operated 6m until I got my '817. It's quickly become my favorite band. I recently worked Fiji with the rig from central Tokyo using a groundless vertical on my

Radio Shack sells a male to female Right angle BNC adapter for $3.99 that works well with the 817. Part # 278-116b. I believe someone on the list was looking for one.

A while back someone posted that Mouser had a right angle plug for the external power connection. The barrel of this plug is too short to work on the 817. The plug is made by DGS and carries a

Hi Julio, 6 meters is a great band, it has been my most favorite band for the last 21 years. My first rig was a Kachina 1 followed by a more modern Yaesu FT-608R through the lastest in the FT-847

Kinda is not even close. I tested some Maldol whips with an MFJ259B. At that time the 40, 20 and 10 meter versions were available from my local radio dealer. The 10m is fine, and resonates at a

Anybody having trouble with getting these animals to resonate after adding a counterpoise might try adding a capacity hat over the coil made with a couple of stiff wires and aligator clips - I've
