Re: FT-817 almost powers up
Hello, just my experience from this week. After a repair and a mod (SEL encoder, and Sotabeam filter) everything was working fine. A few days later I tried to power up the radio and I wasn't working

Re: FT-817 almost powers up
I would also check D1085 and T1035- If they have gone open then the DC input wouldn't work. Kindest regards, Doug Jackson em: doug@... ph: 0414 986878

Re: FT-817 almost powers up
