I just sent an e-mail to Rod at RT Systems requesting the update per Barry's suggestion. The response was near immediate. Karin at RT Systems sent me the update by e-mail and I have already

I just spoke with Rod at RT Systems about the reported difficulty with the ARDTS FT-817 software. A bug has been found and fixed. Those having this software may send Rod an email

I have been a member since the early 80s and this little magazine is the greatest. Great on mods, building, and antennas. About every mod on Heath's HW7, 8, & 9 came out of this little

I had an old 1:1 voltage (I think) balun lying around that has those nice brass recessed terminals, which have screws just a smidgen (US, not British) larger than the holes in the RS whip. I

Julian, I don't think you're achieving that with an "effective ground." I think all you're doing is dumping a large part of the RF into the electrical ground. Unless you've got a few mW to spare, it

The issue is weight for me. I'd currently carry the ft-817 and my vx5r , using the vx5r for weather which it has done a good job of in the past. But it does weigh a bit. I don't know how much a

A word of caution - if there is no filtering on the output section and with the meter right after it, the measured SWR will read incorrect (high, I think) based on the harmonic power level and the

I was in my local dealers in Ealing, West London and they are a pretty switched on bunch. They've been told that an add on amplifier will be available shortly. Maybe it is being made only for use

I also picked up the little yellow book at Dayton, and am pleased with it. I should have picked up the Z11 and One Button tune gizmo there, as well, but was overloaded and overwhelmed. I've since

I got mine from W4RT Electronics at the Dayton Hamvention. I believe it is available on their website (www.w4rt.com) which has on-line ordering. The price is $9.95 and well worth it

Wouldn't it be simpler just to use a dedicated NOAA receiver? Julian, G4ILO purchase. If converter conspire in

But this goes completely against the accepted advice for installing a vertical in a home or mobile situation. You should always use the best possible ground. A couple of people on the Elecraft list

I'd like to add that I have purchased the two most recent issues of the QRP ARCI Quarterly Magazine and was very surprised to find such an extremely high level of professionalism shown in the

I too would have liked the extra coverage for wx, but, as a substitute I can almost always find a local FM broadcast station from where ever I've been and get local wx. Dave

To W4RK regarding the little yellow book you memtioned in posting #6740 - is it still available? Where did you get it?

Well, I can tell you, because I have tried it, that my Ten-Tec Hercules II solid state linear will produce about 150 watts output when driven by the FT-817. So far I have used it only once to snag one

Folks, I have been very impressed with the 817 list. This is what ham radio is all about IMHO. I did however want to mention a very closely allied group that you may or may not be familiar with -

Interesting point. Anyone know exactly what the Power Output setting of the meter is actually reading? <snip> a non 50 ohm load? Many indicators just work on voltage, which is not
