Re: New Antenna for the FT-817 and other QRP portables...
Did your friend order the whip version, or the balun/tuner thingy you

Re: More Balun Questions
If you talking about a long wire notice that one of the binding post is labeled for antenna and the other is labeled for ground. I haven't tried it yet with a long wire but it sure works well with a

Re: ClearSpeech
Hi John,
I know folks with the speaker version and they like it. In Dayton, I
heard the demo using it and it was also impressive.
Good question you asked. If you got a $150 in your pocket, which

Re: ClearSpeech
Mike, thanks -- is there any electrical or physical reason
it wouldn't "install" in the home shack? The website
doesn't really address that question.

I've been using the ClearSpeech speaker in my truck for about

Re: MOD problems
Robert,
Try this:
(1) Turn OFF the FT-817 power.
(2) Press and hold the "F" and the "V/M" buttons and turn the FT-817
power ON.
Also, I note that your unit was made in March 2001 ans is Lot 29!

Re: Green Wire Mod -- Do you have 3 or 5 wires?
Hi David,
You have five wires like every other 817. Two each red and black, and
one green. The FAQ was written thinking (I guess in retrospect) three
colors of wires. I have rewritten this FAQ

Re: More Balun Questions
Brian, it should be pretty straightforward. You run a coax
patch from the last device between the transmitter and the
antenna (probably your Z-11) and attach the wire antenna to
