Just installed the windcamp battery pack.? Turned on 817 and got 11.5 volts - I'm happy with that.? Noticed one thing though.? The screen turned on when I turned on the radio then the screen light

So to give an exit to this off topic issue and get back to the care and feeding of FT-817/FT-818 (my FT-817 S/N begins as "1D**** " and I bought it in 2001). For the original antenna design shortened

Thanks all for your great advise and suggestions!? Maybe I'll hook up with you on FT8 sometime in the near future.? 73, Larry

Hullo Steve, Is this one of the wee blocks that bolts on to the rear panel of the radio, or a premade cable, or did you make it? Regardless, it may be a straightforward continuity problem. Check that

How did you crimp the Powerpole connectors to the wires? This is critical. If you bend the metal tabs inside the connectors, they will not make good contact. The special tool made for crimping

Hi hopefully someone can help me out i have just purchased a powerpole connector for my ft-817 however on connecting it up today? and powering up? it will not power up ? hoiweever going back to the

because they already knew that not doing it will feed endless threads about the radio. :-) -- We yearn for a simpler life based not on refusing all technology, but going back to appropiate technology,

Guys, stop arguing over a simple UK antenna idea that is nothing more than a dipole that has its ends folded The forum is for FT817/818 not antennas Ken and Samudra, please take your argument

In the article I cited, there were claims of a top band antenna in someone's loft with amazing propagation! From what was published in that newsletter, the antenna is a single band balanced (ladder

I don't use an USB isolator – the thought never crossed my mind! Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2023 3:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ft817] USB Interface for FT8? Steve- tnx for the

You are welcome. I have two brands of USB Isolators that I required in the past with an IC-7200 and ICF-8101E using Dell laptop computers. But so far using the older FT-817, FT-847, TS-480SAT and

There aren't magic bullets as you say, and the best antenna is the one you have. :D I've used EFHW, and almost anything else. Not the antenna that I will choose except for backpacking or maybe

I also use a Digirig and found that without the USB isolator there is some hum in the transmitted audio. So I would suggest using one. Regards Gordo VK4VP

My SignalLink USB is as old as my radio, 7 years and I see no reason to expect it to out live it's usefulness.? If windows 12+ refuse to support the USB 2.0 driver I know that Linux will continue

Look at the DigiRig.? With the cables you get USB sound interface and CAT control. Take care, Mark

Sam, You misinterpreted my explanation of your design.? I suggest that the cage you have constructed acts a capacity hat (effectively "end loading") that add capacitance to the end of the antenna to

Understood, but I'd be hard-pressed to imagine an antenna design that is being discussed and experimented with over the course of three decades yet never appeared in any league publication over that

As a multi-published author in QST (last May 2022 page 36) in order to be published in QST you have to meet specific standards. you are assigned an editor and a technical advisor. In my case he

REVISITED..... Your statement regarding experimentation and "improving" antennas. Is somewhat limited as not everyone has 25 acres of flat pasture land in Kansas to experiment in. like I do.. I really
