Re: Battery power for LDG Z-817
I was going to say the LDG-Z817 uses latching relays, so it saves battery draw versus other tuners that do not use latching relays.
Depending on how you operate your mileage my vary..

Re: Battery power for LDG Z-817
The LDG Z-817 uses latching relays. Just wonder how little power is required between tunings.
Alkaline versus zinc-carbon cells seem old fashioned. They are both "cheap" and poorly sealed.

Re: Battery power for LDG Z-817
With the amount of alkaline batteries that have leaked on me in the past few years (much more than in all years past) I would remove them if you know the tuner will not be used for a while.? Store

Ok guys. Thanks.
How you are preventing from the leakage alkaline cells damage inside the tuner? I have very bad experiences with leaked AA alkaline cells and damaged Mizuho radios and other

Re: Battery power for LDG Z-817
Hi Petr
NiMH cells would probably work, at first !? Their voltage is lower than AA alkalines, drops off even more with use, and are not recomended for that reason. Also the "shelf-life" (time to

Re: MFJ-9219
Interesting comment on the bad ground, Joe.
I didn't want to open the box, as it was brand new and didn't want to void the warranty.
I like the idea of this compact all-in-one unit, though. There

Re: MFJ-9219
Hi Ron. I believe the antenna has a 5:1 balun.
Like I said, I always got great results with the Z817, as I confirm the swr on the radio's swr meter. When I use this new manual tuner, I don't get

Re: FT817 finals question
Sorry I left out that info. The sound card interface is a Signalink, and the antenna is a Buddipole. I am also using a Z817 auto tuner.
Have a great day!

Re: MFJ-9219
Correction. I was mistaken that the 9219 is an L network. That means it isn't derived from the 16010.? ?My experience with MFJ chassis grounding through paint stands however.

Re: MFJ-9219
I'm willing to venture that it's an mfj 16010 repackaged with extra stuff. I actually like the 16010. I did need to remove paint for the chassis ground connections before it would work right

Re: MFJ-9219
I am sure the reason you got a better SWR reading at low levels and then high SWR with high power was what the watt/SWR meter could read.? SWR meters have diodes inside and act as a envelop detector

Re: FT817 finals question
You don't say what you're using for a sound card. I'm new myself
particularly to FT8. I use an FT818 a signalink, a 10 mm antenna and my PC
so you're only asking about the FT8 and making contact.

Try to make an SSB contact?
Is your clock accurate (within 0.5 seconds)?
If you can make an SSB contact,,your finals are likely OK, and if your clock is too far off you may be able to decode other

I have two of these radios.
I do not have access to a watt meter at this time.
If I am operating FT8, when the radio keys, the voltage shown on the LCD drops at least one volt. Would it be safe to
