Re: Power plug for WindCamp battery
Where did you get that powerpole?? Sounds like a real improvement over those "coaxial" connectors. Thanks & 73, Jim wb4gcs@...

Re: Power plug for WindCamp battery
I cannot use one of these on my rig. A year ago a chip cap on the pc board power line by the power jack blew up and wiped out the trace. I believe it was a 0.1 uF, 16V cap. 16 volts seems dicey on a

Here is the exact replacement from Amazon.? I have purchased two over the years and they both work fine.? Somehow I misplaced the first one so that's why I bought

Re: 3rd harmonic on 2M. Any fixes?
First of all I would like to thank everyone for their feedback and suggestions. It has been very helpful. The signal is real, and it is coming in the antenna on the 705. I used the RF Gain and ATT on

CW filter again
Hello everybody I joined the group just a few days ago after a good friend of mine handed over a FT817 as a gift. I would appreciate if someone on the group could advice if the case type and pinout of

Re: 3rd harmonic on 2M. Any fixes?
Hi, please can you test without "Preamp" on the IC705? 73 Parice.

Re: 3rd harmonic on 2M. Any fixes?
HI Pete, Do you have any HP or BPF filtering in the input of the 705? I am wondering if the 705 is doing some mixing with out of band signals? The spectrum seen on the 705 is certainly not clean,

Re: 3rd harmonic on 2M. Any fixes?
Usually when doing harmonic test with a spectrum analyzer or spectrum scope in the IC705 if one adds attenuation to the signal and it does not change means one is overloading the scope and the

Re: 3rd harmonic on 2M. Any fixes?
Glenn, Thanks for the assistance. I just tried that again to make sure I was covering my bases and with the 817 transmitting a tone in FM at 1/2 watt I can walk around the house with the 705 and a

Re: 3rd harmonic on 2M. Any fixes?
Hi Al, Thanks for the feedback, and I get that, but the issue seems too consistent. I can transmit into an antenna or dummy load, 1/2 watt or 5 watt, and it still happens. I can tune the 2M side up

Re: 3rd harmonic on 2M. Any fixes?
You are in the near field and possibly picking up radiation from within the radio. What does the harmonic look like in the far field? 73 Glenn WB4UIV --
By Glenn Little · #113332 ·
Re: 3rd harmonic on 2M. Any fixes?
N1QDQ, when you are seeing interference that is not a harmonic and is not attenuated by a low pass filter at the transmitter, then the interference is outside of the radio and is likely a mixing

Re: 3rd harmonic on 2M. Any fixes?
I might have transcribed those number incorrectly. I took some notes and had to leave the project for a few hours. I just got back home and put it on the bench, into a good dummy load, and used my

Re: 3rd harmonic on 2M. Any fixes?
The third harmonic of 145.952 mhz would be at 145.952 x 3 = 437.856 mhz, not 446.264 mhz as you indicate. Typo error, I assume?? Also-does the undesired ("third harmonic") signal show up when you

3rd harmonic on 2M. Any fixes?
I'm using a 817ND as the uplink rig in my satellite station and am getting a large spur at 446.264 when I transmit on 145.952 (for example). I'm still working on measurement/testing but I wanted to

Re: Question about replacing the battery Pack
The cells are a tight fit in a standard AA holder. The springs aren't strong enough to push the cells to make a good contact at the other end so I pushed them up by hand and secured them with heat
