FT817 finals question
I have two of these radios. I do not have access to a watt meter at this time. If I am operating FT8, when the radio keys, the voltage shown on the LCD drops at least one volt. Would it be safe to

Put it in the System32 sub directory and then reboot your system so it will load the .dll 72/73, Robin W4IEN SKCC #7294

Windows XP #file-notice
*Does anyone know if JTDX will work under Windows XP? I have a laptop that I want to use for portable use, but it's the old XP. I keep getting a error of Kernal32.dll missing and I can figure out

Re: Digirig and Z817
I prefer the Signalink simply because I have analog control of both input and output. Much more difficult with PC controls...

Intermittent High SWR/No Power on 2m
I've had issues with a couple of SOTA activations recently with the FT-817ND. At the time I put it down to the antenna, but I've ruled that out now. The transceiver performed faultlessly today on 20m,

Re: 3rd harmonic on 2M. Any fixes?
The analog fix is to put a 70cm trap/s onto your 2m transmit line. Here, there are stacks of UHF cavities available from old repeaters. Asking around would find them. If you have an LPF, you might be

Re: Using the mic socket for datamodes on the cheap
Martin - I have done something similar (actually using audio output from a laptop to my FT-817 to allow me to set up a "Zoom" call between my laptop and mobile phone and talk through the radio whilst

Using the mic socket for datamodes on the cheap
Hi folks - I'd like to tinker with using the headphone output from a phone, feeding the mic socket of the 817 (so I can use the rig's VOX facility). Would be enough to use the settings on the phone

Re: Digirig and Z817
The physical size reduction availed by using toroidal versus air core coils in tuners does have its downside! Knowing the tuner's load tuning range _and_ the approximate antenna load presented to

Re: Digirig and Z817
Also, consider a small manual tuner with your FT-817. I have spent a couple of years using them. The convenience is nice if you QSY a lot, but they are less efficient than air core coil tuners. The

Is WolphiLink still available? I have one of those in my kit and use it with android phones or tablets and a bluetooth keyboard. It somehow suits working with a portable rig like an

Re: Digirig and Z817
The digirig works nice. My only gripe with the FT817 is the audio comes into direwolf a bit on the hot side, but I have never really seemed to have any issues with it not decoding packets as a

Re: Digirig and Z817
Yes; it is possible to use a digirig interface for the FT-817 simultaneously with the Z817 tuner. The Z817 has a pass-through port for CAT control of the FT-817 by additional devices. On the back of

Digirig and Z817
I was looking at digirig for a possible replacement to the Signalink. I am curious how if it is possible to run digirig with the Z817 in configuration. It appears that the digirig uses the accessory

Re: Should you leave the battery pack installed when not in use?
Thanks everyone, I think I'll remove it and stick to using my sealed lead acid battery for now.
