Re: New Antenna for the FT-817 and other QRP portables...
(Stuff deleted for brevity) the point is not that it is a 50 inch whip, but that it has a built- in variable transformer, they claim does away with the need for a tuner. There is also a dipole

Re: New Antenna for the FT-817 and other QRP portables...
Did your friend order the whip version, or the balun/tuner thingy you clip two equal-length wires to? It appears to have a length of 50-ohm coax and a PL259, and its called The

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. Tnx and 73 John Newell (yr long-lost cousin?

Re: ClearSpeech
I've been using the ClearSpeech speaker in my truck for about a year. I use it with my Ten Tec Scout. Believe me, it makes a difference, especially in my Dodge truck which generates quite a bit of

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: ClearSpeech
Good report, Barry, tnx. Two questions for the group. I went to eHam and read the reviews there as well. Sounds interesting... If you were prioritizing (echhh! <g>) purchases between the SSB

Re: Digest Number 470
Regarding the Miracle Antenna, I think a lot of people are being very unfair and at this point somewhat cruel especially when some of you refer to it as a joke. After reading the page info they seem

Re: Need transmitting help!
Jo. I have just got to laugh WITH you. The first couple of weeks when I was getting used to the little beastie, I had to do that reset quite often. I'd get the FT817's settings all mucked up somehow

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 the balun. If you
