Thanks Ken, that sounds a sensible approach. -- Mike G8GYW

I've got an FT-897 in a similar situation (full of filters, sitting idle), and my opinion is that while the filters have value outside the radio, and by selling them separately you may maximize your

I plan to sell my FT-817ND in the near future as I'm not using it enough to justify keeping it. It has all the original accessories including the YF-122C and YF-122S Collins mechanical filters. I

Hi guys: I have a question about my ft817. Yesterday, I was on 28336 on ten meter usb mode. When I attempted to answer a buddy, and I key up the mic, The frequency would shift upwards to transmit

Fantastic, real-life info there in those charts!?? Thanks for doing that testing and posting the outcomes for everyone!

Ron, I second your thoughts about butane powered soldering sets, especially Weller. Have used one for years in my travel and repair kits. If we believe what we believe Why do we do what we do?

Yep. You'd be amazed (if that's the right word) at how bad a modified sine wave inverter is. I had a XPower 1kw unit in my initial semi-off-grid solar system (only because it had been given

I'd do it the opposite way. Have a 12vdc 817 battery with a 12v to usb adapter. There are converters from 12 to 5 volts or an aux power (cigarette lighter plug) to usb. Mike

You'd probably be very surprised and disappointed if you look at a modified sine waveform. It's just a series of square top pulses alternating positive and negative. Same peak voltage as a sine wave

Hi folks, We had out doubts when other hams began espousing use of these battery banks, so we purchased a few and did some tests along with some well-known batteries to see how they stacked up.? We

" I have some good 6000 AHr units that put out 12V and USB (12000 AHr for USB), but have 3 Amp output limits. " You may want to check your units, LOL - got a good laugh reading about 12,000 Amp Hour

Greg, I agree we must always look at the AHr rating of the battery when getting one of these units, nothing new.? Even for 12V batteries for our rigs we need to check these ratings.? But the

Hi Ron, My caution is to not confuse watts with watt-hours. Getting a 300w unit only tells you the maximum instantaneous AC power that the unit will deliver, but provides no

Greg, Obviously one would not get one of these power packs to run like a refrig or heater.? I got a 300W unit to run my soldering gun for events like putting together Field Day.? Works great. Yes,

I really like the RoyPow. I chased one down refurbishes then my brother, who is also a ham, apparently ran into them independently and got me another one for christmas to use with my FT817 and other
