Re: internal SWR meter
Any smoke yet? Or is it all gone already? ;) The bars on the SWR meter are, at best, relative to each other. That is, 5 bars means higher SWR than 1 bar, but that's about all you can

Re: 6 Meters
Many years ago myself and several Hams (KB4CRT,K9IJ,K4WSB,WB4IOA, and maybe a couple of others who I can't remember)were on a boat trip in Tampa Bay when KB4CRT heard the 6m band open to somewhere

Re: Random Wire antenna
Reading your question again, I realize now that you already have a tuner. Usually, the standard "Pi" or "T" network tuner has a connection point for a single wire, so I think you probably already

Re: Random Wire antenna
My standard "in the field" antenna is a 50- to 75-foot length of wire (15 to 20 meters long) with one end pulled up into a tree. I connect the wire to my trusty old MFJ model 16010 L-network tuner,

Re: 6 Meters
I have had the same general observations, but last night I discovered something new. I was playing around with my new '817, and had the rig sitting on the desk, with the "long" duckie connected

Re: Random Wire antenna
I suppose there are many configurations that will work. But here is one that I know works. I have a 15 meter dipole (approximately 23 feet overall length) center fed with home made open wire line

Random Wire antenna

Re: MALDOL whip - SWR kinda crummy?
Nope, with the 20 meter Maldol mounted directly on the FT-817, I get 4 to 5 bars in on the SWR display and have been completely unable to adjust that or make a contact with it. Mounting it on the Z11

Re: Modest output HF amplifiers.
You could also look at RM products in Italy. They do CB (25-30Mhz) amplifiers , but also VHF and UHF and some have HF capabilities. Power from 30W-to 500 Watt with 1-7W input. Look at model KL203

Re: FT-817 + 50W Amp + Battery (/PM)
OE3MZC: The reason for the SG237 Smartuner to start the tuning process again might also be an old software in the EPROM of the 237! You can write to SGC and ask for a new version that makes the
