Re: ACC and DATA plugs for FT-818?

 

Thanks, Greg.??

Yes, that could be one solution.? At least I know now I have a normal FT-818...a few responses indicate that at least some of them have smaller holes than the '817, though apparently not all.

This cable also looks potentially promising (though the postage to Canada is a bit pricey, as is often the case):

Re: question on CW

 

Hi Mike

Yes on all of that, I did try menu 19 to reverse the paddle but it didn't seem to help. But that may have

been before I rewired the paddle. I found the ground wire had come broken at the solder joint and

then tried again but forgot to go back to menu 19 and retry, so I will do that today sometime.

Thanks.

Hi Marty,

With BK active you will still activate the transmitter. For off air practice you would want to un-tick it as well.
You would have to reverse the dit-dah? the wiring on your paddle to change which paddle sends the keying.

question on CW

 

HI Group

It has been quite a while since I have had my ft-817 on the air, moving and such

has gotten in the way. I hooked it up last night and see something I can't remember

exactly how to do, and I don't see it covered in the manual however I may have over

looked it.

In using a key paddle plugged in, and the menu for control of the keyer if you untick

the option to turn it on, but the BK ticked you can use it to practice CW with one of the

paddles to key the side tone or rig. I thought you keyed with the dah side, on mine it is

using the dit side, is this correct. Seems to me trying to send cw with your thumb would

be strange. Or is it supposed to key with either paddle side. I thought in the past I had

keyed as straight key using the paddle using my index finger.

Have you tried doing a full reset to factory?

A second question, was there any update or programing being done before the problem started?

Yeah - weird!



Not much help for the DO-IT-YOURSELF method. But I have found Yaesu repair
facility to be quick, do a great job, and at a reasonable cost. Frankly, if
you offered me that much to work on your radio I'd turn it down.



Hope you find that helpful, if option-2 becomes your choice.

Subject: [FT817] radio is weird








Hi guys:



Before I send my radio off to Yaesu, I thought I'd run the problem by the
group.



My radio shows running all modes on each of the top buttons. In other words,
instead on selecting the bands, all buttons do the modes. I'm sorry that I
cannot put this in a simpler text. I did a total reset, but to no avail.



I believe it is a problem with the processor. I do not know how to get into
the hidden menu and would like to avoid that. I would be willing to do that
if someone would show me how.



Any ideas?



Thanks.

Seems more like a wiring problem, or perhaps an issue with one of the ICs.? Either way, a processor reset isn't going to fix it.

Re: ACC and DATA plugs for FT-818?

I used a similar connector (forget where I got it) and simply didn't push the outer cover all the way up to the end.? Ran some tape around the outside to keep it from moving, and it's worked ok in my 818 since.? I think the use of some heat shrink tubing (the kind with glue on the inside) might be better than the tape.

Does anyone have a preferred source for plugs, or for plugs with integrated shielded cables, to fit the ACC and DATA jacks on the FT-818?

I discovered on Friday that the plugs sold by the local Sayal Electronics store (from Mode Electronics) have outer shells that are too large in diameter to fit in the recesses in the rear panel of my FT-818.? These appear to be identical to this more widely available plug, which apparently fits the FT-817 but would certainly not work with my FT-818:



I managed to make the Sayal/Mode plug fit, since I had no time before the Microwave Sprint to procure an alternative, by whittling down the outer plastic shell, but it was rather tedious work!? The shell diameter on the Sayal/Mode connectors is 14.1 mm (0.555" - measured by me, 0.551" per the Digi-Key-linked datasheet) and I measured the chassis hole diameter at 12.9 mm (0.508").??

From photos I found on the web it looks like there was a change of the rear panel casting from the 817 to the 817ND, but the pictures of the 817ND and 818 look the same.

Suggestions?

Re: Power pole adapter

 

Hi all,

A number of you who own our Kx33 power supply asked us for this adapter for use with the stock Yaesu charger, so we are now stocking a 4.0mm x 1.7mm female DC power jack to Anderson PowerPole adapter.? You can find it on our website here:



And to also answer the queries, yes we are still running the group special of a Kx33 Low-RFI power supply plus the proper adapter at no extra charge.? It must be ordered through this link:



I hope to meets some of you at Xenia, we will be in booth 1610. We now return you to your non-commercial content, undoubtedly in progress...

Hi Randy:

Nice find! ? However, the barrel connector is not the size for the FT-817. ? Works with many other rigs, however.

Re: FT-818ND new UHF filter performance?

[email protected]
 

FYI

HobbyPCB makes low-cost filters for the 144, 220 and 440MHz bands. They aren't anywhere near as high performance as the OCI cavity filters but they are only $20 each, handle 10W, have low insertion loss and can greatly improve the FT-818's ability to reject out-of-band signals.
