John, ??? I wound up building this from some spare parts and Aliexpress. So far it seems to be working ok FT-817 battery holder with BMS by ah1102 | | | | | | | | | | | FT-817

Hi! Here is a question that I think I know the answer to but here goes - I've a '817ND bought several years back as a 'shack in the box' for use in a small 'domestic' shack. It has never been used

I've done some of this. * I put in an ammeter in line with power, and as the rig powers up, it gets to just over 0.5A draw before it shuts off.? As I understand it, the op-amp circuit near the power

The finals are straight across the 13.8US (power unswitched), so they might well drag the supply down. If the controller decides the voltage is too low, it will immediately power down. The main power

In an attempt to clean drawers I have this stuff for sale: - Yaesu YF-122S original filter (SSB). Like new, w/box. 120€ - New Inrad 500hz filter boards (no filter) for DIY'ers. Easy way is

To get the broken tip of the power connector out of the socket I did this trick successfully: 1. Cut a 1" piece of Gorilla tape or gaffer's tape. 2. Roll it into a cylinder approx the same diameter

Farren, I have been successful by adding a little solder to the exposed part of the connector and then soldering a wire to that.? Then you can pull the whole thing out.? I bought these a while back

Very small watchmaker's screwdriver also works.? I managed to lever mine out like that.? Now have PowerPole adapter fitted! Mike G8NSZ

I have and use the Windcamp version of this too. You'll note that the old "ground" screw is no longer accessible (which it was on my SotaBeams version that I gave away.) But worse than that, with an

Got the SOTABEAMS version of this.? Works and prevents damaging the FT-817/8 power jack.? Take care, Mark AA3K

I bought one of these. Takes the strain off the plug Check out WINDCAMP YAESU FT-817 FT-818 For Anderson PowerPole Adapter Connector to DC Plug on

Heat up a needle then poke into the plastic, when it cools you should be able to pull it back out with the plastic attached. May take a couple of attempts to succeed, but quite a few people have

I recently purchased a used 817 and I just discovered that the yellow plastic tip from a power plug is stuck down at the bottom of the power socket on the radio.? Any suggestions for how to remove

I had a strange occurrence with mine. There is a chip cap right near the connector on the pc board that blew up. It took out the trace from the connector. The chip cap was only rated at 16 volts, on

Just last night I repaired my 817ND that had the same problem. Turned out to be an open PCB trace. Bridged the trace and it's operating fine now. An ohmmeter and magnifying glass are your friends in

Thanks, folks. You¡¯ve given me some good things to check. Will report back. b Bill ACITO | W1PA
