Re: Yaesu FT-718 power conditioner
Mike,
Thanks, your explanation answers my questions.
Note: you seem to keep referring to the FT-817 as 718, which brings to mind a competitor's radio, the IC-718.
Thanks,
Ken, N2VIP

Re: Ft-817 power connector
Do you mean the FT817? Not 718? Sometimes you just have to spend the money.

Re: Yaesu FT-718 power conditioner
Mike,
Looks nice, but I've got a couple questions:
I only see one external connection, how is this unit connected to the radio? A jumper that passes thru the lid?
I suspect most FT-817/818 users power

Re: Ft-817 power connector
I use the Yaesu cable: I think it came with the radio. It also fits my Yaesu HTs.

Yaesu FT-718 power conditioner
Hey, gang...
Things have been slow in the shack, so I've raised from the dead a project I started back in 2018. This is a power conditioner for the 718/818.

Ft-817 power connector
Hi, gang...
well the subject says it all. I'm looking for the little coaxial power jack for the 718. I've searched Amazon and eBay. I don't want to spend $25 for a connector with a hunk of wire on

Re: 60dbm Neptune Amplifier + or -
I’m still seeing such behavior on the IC-705 (different radio)... when on SSB/voice, randomly, when I press the PTT, I see the TX light on the amp, but as soon I say something the TX light turns off
