Ronan, the service menu (aka hidden menu) is *not* for the faint-hearted, or the impulsive. If you do go there, be aware that when entering the service menu there is an /automatic/ calibration of the

Re: Installing the YF-122S SSB filter
Bad luck Steve. I don't feel so bad now! I had my first QSO with the 817 yesterday on SSB with a chap in Cardiff. Impressed so far, but so many settings to learn ... Mike G8GYW

Re: Installing the YF-122S SSB filter
Well done Mike. At least you didn't install it upside down like I did! In fairness, I based that upon seeing an eBay listing image of Murata "equivalents" installed "upside down" in an FT 857, but it

Hi Mike, In answer to your questions: 1. I don't know. I bought the radio second hand although it was untouched and in its original box with all accessories still in their unopened state. 2. Yes. A

Re: Low output power only on CW...
1- Did it ever work properly? 2- Does it do 5 watts in FM? 3-Does it do 1.5 watts in AM? 4- Are there changes in the output as you step thru the 4 levels as described on pg 20 of the manual? 5-Good 12

Re: Low output power only on CW...
Having had a quick look, the sotabeams "laserbeam" filter unit sits in the audio path, not the IF path. When installing the filter, C1338 is removed and the filter sits across its pads. This is the AF

Re: Low output power only on CW...
I believe this filter also sits in the receive path but will need to check the schematic to be sure. I'll have a look this evening.

Re: Low output power only on CW...
I'm using a straight key (always do) so I'm measuring power over several seconds key-down. It sits at a steady 2 to 3 watts. Switching to SSB and whistling into the mic produces a solid 5 watts.

Yes what keying mode will influence the output meter reading.? But if the filter is in only for CW I would be looking at it.? I have a CW filter in my FT817, but is in the rcvr IF and does not

Good question, Al... The power remains the same with the filter engaged or disengaged. I might remove the filter completely from the radio and see if that changes anything. That requires a bit of
