I brought my FT-817 and MP-1 to work with me and went out behind the building in a park and setup yesterday at lunch time. I did not make any contacts, but I was hearing some stations on 17m. I

IIRC from Vern's impromptu presentation to '817 users at Dayton, he uses 3/8"-24 tpi construction pretty much throughout. So, you could pick up a section of 3/8" aluminum round stock (at

Folks, I removed the outer shrink sleeve from my MAHA FT-817 battery pack. There are no fuses in this version. (I'm installing Pico fuses.) There is a device of some sort connected between the

Hi Brian, The MP-1 as it is now shipping according to Vern comes with a 4 ft telescoping mast and 8 inch lower section. There is a "mobile kit" available for $15 that consist's of the 2 foot lower

Taking a break from the heat of the battery and fuse discussions, I reflect on the joy of sitting outside in the shade, talking on the radio. I look up at the antenna and visualize the tiny QRP

This is a strange report I visited another local Ham the other day and he had the ?2 foot? extension you talk about. But I do not think he had purchased the mobile kit for his MP-1. Is it possible

Vern at Super Antennas tells me you get better performance with the 2 foot lower that comes with the mobile kit. I am waiting for my MP-1 to arrive. I had tested one a friend had and was impressed

The information sheet that came with my MAHA pack says: "Maha battery pack has a built-in thermostat for avoiding overcharging/overheating. The charging circuit will be automatically shut of at 55

Can anyone suggest what a more appropriate length would be for the lower mast section? What seems to produce better results? Tnx, Gene

Mike, have I ordered mine direct from W4RT Electronics and had it in a few days. Have you checked with GigaParts recently? I talked to George at GigaParts Tuesday on another matter and understood

Hi Hans, Interesting. Where did you purchase your Maha pack? I have "fondled" only tw

The OPP was my first choice but after 2 weeks, Gigaparts still doesn't have any stock of them. Heck, we're all in the same town too! Would be curious to know what kind of failure you had. I'd bought

I took a look at the RM amp site and noticed that the 300P is not biased for linear operation. I hope it is just a mistake on the drawing! But be careful before buying. Malcolm KO6SY

even Hi I have a Maha pack, and under the shrink wrap there is a bugle. I assumed that there is a fuse (thermal type) in the pack. The size of it, feels like thermal type fuses you see in most

Not really. Maha/Yaesu/W4RT all are ~$60. RS pack is $24.99 (was on sale for $19.99). I found an older RS NiCd pack for $9.97(1000 mAh) & if I cannibalized the AA-holder connector, I'd be in

So, since neither Yaesu nor Maha -- both of whom, one presumes, would face potential liability if their battery packs fried a rig (or a person) -- worry about fusing, why should we? Not asking

Modest W4WB refrained from mentioning that theW4RT Electronics One Plug Power NiMh pack includes as standard features: overcurrent fuses in both battery leads plus overtemp protection. As one who

Re: recent word of a fried FT-817 from automotive starting surges; plus the 817's lack of reverse- polarity protection; plus the fact that it's been noted that the DC socket on the back of the 817

I use my FT-817 on PSK31. The software that I use is DigiPan v. 1.6, which is sound card based. My interface is homebrew, based on the documentation provided with DigiPan, and is basically two
