It's a New Day for QRP!
I know this post will not say anything that all of you '817 owners don't already know, but I just can't resist -- I have been a QRPer for 20 years, ever since I built my HW-8 back about 1980. My

Re: A nearly perfect internal battery solution ...
Has anyone tried lithium batteries? I can get them at the military exchange for $3.50 (USD) per pair. I am not sure the rating but I have used them in hand-held and got better life usage out of them.

Re: A nearly perfect internal battery solution ...
Be carefull! I purchased 1800 mah Nimh batteries at Dayton. Their outside diamter is a little larger than normal (at least the ones I bought), and they don't fit in the FT-817 holder!! For about

Re: Small, portable, light weight Hexbeam (now Hex/X-beam)
I've been thinking about this and I agree that there are differences in the geometry and I'm sure that they would have an effect. I have not had hands on a hex-beam. (I enjoy building and playing

Re: A nearly perfect internal battery solution ...
Glad you said nearly perfect. I'd be concerned about the lack of overcurrent and thermal protection for something which will live inside the 817. Also there is a convenience factor related to

Re: Fw: SSB Filter - Help!
Which brings me to another possible angle on the question whether the ClearSpeech unit or the SSB filter might be the better purchase? The CS unit will (obviously) only help on rx, while the filter

Re: Fw: SSB Filter - Help!
Hi Don, We have found that the SSB filter does give the 817 more kick in the SSB mode. On both RX and TX, speech is more distinct and the average RF power increases about 2 dB. This is both by
