There are settings in the service menu (the "hidden" menu) to adjust the reflected power sensitivity for HF, VHF, and UHF. Perhaps those got misadjusted or corrupted (or perhaps the rig came from the

When I say a good dummy load...I mean a Bird 8080, rated to 3.5 GHz. Same symptom on another good dummy load and on an antenna known to be well matched. 73, Steve VE3SMA

Steve, the problem may be parasitic capacitance if the dummy load has multiple resistors due to the resistor lead end caps, the more resistors the worse the problem - check out QST article on UHF

Make sure that you have selected the same antenna connection for UHF as VHF or move the dummy load to the other antenna port. You can independently select one to the front BNC and the other to the

Go for an external meter then. I'm using my 817 this weekend if I have a 70cm antenna I'll check it but mostly I just use it for HF. Dave G0CER FT817@...> wrote: -- 73 Dave H

I used completely different cables for the front and rear antenna connectors, so I think I have taken the bad cable possibility out of the possible reasons list. I also operated for a while on 70 cm

Just a thought Steve - are you using a patch lead to the dummy load - can you swap for another? I've an 817 and really thinking about it never used 70cm except to listen on. Dave

My FT-818 shows 3 bars on the SWR meter on 70 cm at the 5 W setting, when connected to a good quality UHF/microwave dummy load. On 50 or 144 MHz it shows zero bars. This is true for both front and

I forgot to mention I used to be a 20wpm guy. Now 78 chasing DX or contesting I just can't do it. The helpers might help me. Plus they are fun to play with. Solid copy on ARRL QST. ?

I think it is good to have CW sending and coping aids for some that dont want to learn CW. I dont know how to copy RTTY or PSK31 without a computer, hi. But one will not learn CW except by

I think it more approapate to say the FT818 is really an FT817A. But I guess good to really show more of a difference since anyone would know FT818 is newer version. My FT817 is non-ND. 73,

That was exactly it. Some parts had become unobtanium. But they should have left the power levels alone. Only a rank beginner thinks that 6 watts is any kind of useful increase in anything but

I believe the main reason for bringing the FT-818 out was some parts are no longer available for the FT-817. It is sort of a "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."? By upgrading to parts that are

Good morning Ray. Going over my notes, I show 240,000 radios sold a couple of years ago. I imagine they hit 250,000 radios before the 818 came out. Maybe not….. but only Yaesu knows for sure,

Hi Sonny: The FT-817 and it's successors, ARE the best selling rigs of all time. ?Ironic, since Yaesu originally viewed it as a rig only for their domestic market. ?But, hams around the world saw

The radio itself is enormously popular and with so many in use theres bound to be a variety of mods and improvements. I dont know any numbers but it is probably among the highest selling rigs of all

I don't know of? any other radio that so many operators devise so many ingenious ways of powering.?

Thanks !? Just got a couple.Rich W1GBB

And you can do code without a key or paddle with it and the winkeyer, using a keyboard. A new way to learn the code? ?
