I don't understand why. I am not very technical, so I can only understand things if they are explained in layman's terms. Surely, in an ideal situation, with a perfect ground, the ground acts as a

Do you have any for SSB?

Hi Julian and group, I must tell you to buy the book HF ANTENNAS FOR ALL LOCATIONS by Les Moxon, G6XN, which is printed by your RSGB. This is considered by many the bible in Antennas. Les will

How many times has it been written in antenna books "A vertical antenna is one half of a dipole with the mirror image of the other half in the groundplane"? So why is it so surprising that when the

Could someone please post the Radio Shack part number for the SWL antenna used as a counterpoise? I've searched the archives and see lots of references but can't find the original post with the

I have several CW filters for sale for the FT817. These are indentical to the ones supplied by Yaesu. They use the same Collins mechanical filter and the same style plug in-board. If you put them

Although I firmly believe a pocket NOAA WX receiver ( probably with "SAME" technology... a sort of weather emergency SelCall system ) is a better choice, I found the converter I used to use to convert

I believe you are referring to the "Pack It"Reference Manual, a great poratble guide to the 817.Order at http://www3.sympatico.ca/januscs/ 73 Rich, n5csu Dallas TX

Bill, I'm very glad you got it and installed it and installed it and it's working great. Please tell me what the heck you are talking about?!!! --- 73, Rich - W3ZJ

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
