Re: Recent final board price / availability?
Yeasu releases new Owner's manuals as the externals and user interface change. There've been maybe 5 or more released for the FTdx10 so far. Makes sense as more of the product becomes software

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
Yaesu said they were no longer available as of early September 2024. I ordered a board from a place in Germany called funktechnik.

Re: multi function encoder
I got around to completing this repair today.
Yaesu sent me a Q9000795 rotary encoder (Alps, appears to be identical to the original one), they also sent me a new knob RA026960B. Total cost including

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
The finals are only one place that you can lose power.
Drivers, Predriver, transformers, and (on mine) one of the power switch transistors to the predriver supply all can cause low power.
It is quite

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
Yes, and presumably the 'new in box' FT-817 the OP got would have that issue...

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
The self oscillation problem on the original 817 can be dealt with on the

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
The original, FT-817 finals used transistors that are no longer available, so technically the rep was correct, BUT...
The FT-818 has a (slightly) redesigned finals board that has a new, readily

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
Mike,
Besides the normal "transmit into non-resonant/non-existing antenna, blow finals" issue a Z817 can help with, there is the "battery pack drains, the finals self-oscillate and fry themselves"

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
Were these FT-818 finals or FT817? When I called a couple of months back, the service guy told me no 817 finals are available and none are planned on being made due to lack of transistors

I recommend getting the interface cable for it, if you don't have it, so it reduces power during tuning.

Re: Recent final board price / availability?
I recently got a new in box 817 non ND. I just got the z817 tuner. I sure

I don't think the first gen 817 can be repaired
