You have a very simplistic view of the industry - you seem to believe that every hard-won technical advancement beyond superhet receivers with 'slabs of quartz' is a step backwards performance-wise

SDR's are pretty crappy for REAL RF rejection. An SDR is taking everything and only tailoring it's output to end user expectations. But at the end the DAY, unwanted signals still enter the "front

John, I read the "crazy" product description as in "crazy, outside the box thinking, design", not bad, wrong, or any other way AT THE TIME IT WAS INTRODUCED. He also mentioned the ultra-compact FT-90:

Geert How does the FT-817 become a "crazy design" when they probably sold more of these than any other radio of the past twenty years? What data supports this "crazy" statement? If they cannot get

Once the Hilbert transform made nearly perfect filter performance possible, using digital processing (at the price of latency), mechanical filters and all their intermodulation issues were doomed. A

Nearly all modern radios are direct conversion (I/Q translation) followed by DSP to make the bandwith. The days of a hetrodyne receiver converting to 455kHz for IF filtering with a mechanical /

Yet, somehow Yaesu can't source filters for their radios... Yaesu can sell those 'lumps of quartz' for $150/ea, if there was a source, they'd still offer them IMHO Ken, N2VIP

A valid question. But I think the manufacturers are illogical. A xtal filter, all you need is ONE lump of quartz in series with the 455Khz signal to make a CW filter. SSB filters actually require more

I would think with Yaesu discontinuing the FT818 is more to do with competition and drop in sales. If the rig was selling very well I would think Yaesu would find a way to keep it in production.?

Well said Paul, a most eloquent letter and an interesting and informative story about the Porsche 911, I have an original 2002 manufacture 817, original finals that I would never part with. I hope the

What surprised me was the 818 short production run. Most radio models stick around for longer than that.? ?I look forward to whatever will replace it. Yaesu has always had the right HF radio for me

"Keep xtal filters"? Sourced from whom, exactly? And they tend to be physically large, forcing certain compromises regarding radio packaging - modern, QRP/Portable radios are built like HTs for good

Yes Andy, completely agree. Not bothered about the mic connection being RJ or circular but yes to everything else. 4m especially. Martyn M0TEB Martyn Bell -- ----- - . -...

Hi Is it the board only or is it with both filters installed pls? 73 - Petr, OK1RP -- B: http://goo.gl/Fd2JhJ YT: https://urlzs.com/UHNH9 MeWe: https://bit.ly/2HGPoDx MeWe: https://bit.ly/2FmwvDt --

I was thinking more of the form factor. By all means design out the problematic parts, but - retain the form factor - better support for user build battery packs so that we don't rely upon 3rd party

I got my FT-817 in 2004 as my first tranceiver. It never had any problems. Since 2013 it sits in my shack as a back-up with a small HF and VHF linear besides its big brothers 'Icom IC718 and FT991a'.

Hello, I'm going through my stash and i have a brand new W4RT One Board Filter OBF-817 i want to sell , this is the CW and SSB Collins Mechanical filters on one board that you install in your 817.?

I have used needle nose plyers for such nuts around a RF connector.? Anything where one can force the rotation using both sides at once. But as said getting to the nut will require removing the front

Would a split-ring pliers work on that nut? How about a needle-nose? I don’t have a loose connector, but both of those have worked on that kind of nut on other devices. Kevin N5KRG
