Trade W4RT one board CW/SSB for an 817 CW filter
I have a new unopened W4RT one board filter that covers both CW and SSB. I do not use SSB and would like to trade for an 817 CW filter. Thanks

Marty,
You are correct I do indeed have the UK version but it does appear that my rig is somewhat unique in allowing a Softmod as others with UK versions

Hi Mike and Peter
I have been following along here with this discussion, and just noticed that Peter is and I
would presume have a UK version of the ND. While Mike has a US version of the ND.

Mike,
As previously I certainly have the 3 colour back light & the 60 metre band. I'll have a look later i the week to see if the solder blob points are there & what PA is fitted.
Funnily enough much

Re: TX ERR on 40m from .101 to .200
That is interesting Peter.
The solder-blob change to the ND version panel unit was a requirement to pass type-acceptance. Before that, using the software to modify it made it too easy to use the

Mike anything is possible. I haven't disassembled the radio? to have a look. However, I can confirm that the display has the 3 back light colours selectable.

Re: TX ERR on 40m from .101 to .200
Perhaps you have an early “ND” with the non-ND panel unit. Often when there is a major change in progress, there are a few “abortion” units made from new parts here but old parts there as

It was me who said it. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't make it not possible.
As i said my ND was an early model (4e serial) perhaps they changed things after that run

Re: TX ERR on 40m from .101 to .200
Very good.
I was pretty much certain the software mod DOES NOT WORK for the FT-817ND. Even though someone said it worked for him, I wasn’t buying it.
Glad you got it working. Enjoy.

Thanks to all who responded. I tried the Widebander software mod (Thanks Robin G4JDO) but to no avail. Plucked up the courage & downloaded the Yaesu jumper mod sheet and reset the jumpers and all’s

Re: TX ERR on 40m from .101 to .200
Apologies for the delay Mike, i have to dig through my software archive to find the answer.
The application i used was called 'softjump', this appears to just change a 2 byte value in the rig and it

Thanks for all your suggestions. I did wonder about the old uk allocation but thought it was expanded before the nd was released. I’ll let you know when I’ve got it sorted. Probably not

Re: TX ERR on 40m from .101 to .200
That is interesting…….. I had always thought-heard-been told only the FT-817 could be opened up with software. One of the “improvements” of the FT-817ND was that it took a physical MOD to

Re: TX ERR on 40m from .101 to .200
FWIW my elderly FT817 needed “expanding” to cover the extended portion of the 40m band, I did mine via the “jumpers” sadly a side effect is losing the ARS functionality.

Still worth trying a PC/Software based MARS mod, my rig is an early 'ND' model and took a software mod ok.

Re: TX ERR on 40m from .101 to .200
?Hi Andy,
I had the same issue with my 817. You need to open up the band by either soldering some pads in the head (display) assembly or by using software. Soldering the pads is rather tricky due to

Re: TX ERR on 40m from .101 to .200
Hi Andy – a memory lurking in the back of my mind, didn’t the UK have a reduced 40m allocation at one time?
Perhaps this 817 dates from that time and has the reduced band set internally?
