Re: Frequency programming keypad
Dave,
You will be much happier using CHIRP than a separate keyboard.? This free software allows you to assemble memory input like a spread sheet.? It allow for naming (limited by the FT817/818

Re: Frequency programming keypad
Thanks to all for the information. I did look on the internet and found
several keypads. None of these devices are being made now. I think I'll
look into one of the kinda cheap Chinese import

Re: Frequency programming keypad
Hello All,
I Just did a Google? search for "Keypad for FT-817" and found 4 of them, each different from the other. So there are some available.
Just do the same search as I did.

Re: Frequency programming keypad
FYI, our SideKar Decoder Edition interfaces with the 817 / 818 and allows you to change frequency and mode from a wireless keyboard.Plus you can send 20 user-defined CW messages (80 characters each)

Re: Frequency programming keypad
It should be fairly trivial to take a keypad and a micro-controller (RPi Pico?) and have it read the keypad and shoot the proper command to a radio over a serial port connected to a radio's cat

Re: Frequency programming keypad
Dave,
Your note reminded me that I have box on the shelf that appears to have 4 vintage assembled Universal QSYers and one unassembled kit. If that model seems like something you’d use feel free

Re: Blown final club? I think I have a membership
Average Ham does not mean much these days.? Most repair of Ham gear is not that hi-tech.? Yaesu hires high school drop outs to do it.
And replacing the FT817 PA finals on the is not that

Re: Blown final club? I think I have a membership
The FT817/818 charge circuit would not really cause issues if "overcharging". The radio is built for NiCD / NiMH cells and the charging regime is 14 hours times 0.1C, so 14 hours times 10% of the

Re: Self destruct finals
I am pretty sure if you call Yaesu UK they will be able to sell you a FT818 output module that will fit your FT817 and it won't mortgage your house. The techs are pretty nice to work with.
