Earlier today, I asked if anyone had had any luck with one of those. I've tried three times over the last 6-7 years to get one to work, most recent was yesterday. No luck - tunes ok, but hears

Dave: Thanks for the info. I just ordered the manual and some DIN connectors. Apparently Yaesu is coming out with a service manual update as they have assigned a new part number. Unfortunately they

Just back from 3 weeks sailing in the Caribbean. This trip, I took the FT-817 along for kicks. Attached to a 20-meter vertical dipole strung up on the foredeck and using internal NiMH batteries

Yes....I am also using the WM-2 QRP watt meter and compared it to the watt meter in the MFJ-971 set for QRP. Identical readings. Looks like Yaesu sets em on the low side.....assuming that it can be

My bad! Didn't see the thread started with message #7873 Still is worth a try though...cheers! Mike n9xrt small tune each

~4.0 watts 10-28 mhz. I have not checked 6 meters, 2m/440. The power output in the 3 lower power settings was I get exactly the same readings on my Oak Hills WM-2 QRP wattmeter... Fred KD7T

Thanks Dave but the power output was down immediately after I turned the radio on. So...duty cycle/heating is not the problem. Elliott Wa6TLA David Henn wrote:

Hello from an FT-817 wannabe (and soontobe)! Don't know if the DCTL antenna has been discussed yet. It's a small loop made of 300 ohm twinlead. I saw it featured in CQ sometime in '94. I built

Beware commercial 6M antennas. They are usually for the 52Mhz FM portion of the band. A 2M 5/8 wave whip = 6M ? wave whip. For my ft-817 I order the superantennas.com mount kit. This gives you a

Hello Elliott, See my message 6968. I also had a power output problem. Best Rgds - David

I recently purchased an FT-817 and am getting familiar with all the features and getting the feel with my oversized fingers! I have worked some station on cw and ssb from home and the signal/quality

Hi Fil.. You are not doing anything wrong.. The Poll is now deleted. see message 7879 Thanks & Best Rgds - David

Thanks, I should have the box next week, so I'll be up at about 10,000ft in the Miata trying it out. Simon Brown, HB9DRV --- Casa Bergenia, 7031 Laax, Switzerland Tel: +41 81 921 6853, GSM: +41 78

Simon, We're just past the peak. Conditions still good. 10 meters is great when open. Normal summertime (northern hemisphere) conditions are in effect (sporadic E, etc). This cycle not as good as

Hi All, As per my previous post, I have been QRT for so long it's a wonder I can even remember my own name. Anyway, where are we in the sunspot cycle this evening :-) ? Would a 10m whip be at all

Nope. A pain to tune, too. I compared a couple of iterations on it to 20m and 30m dipoles zigzagged and crammed into the same spaces where I was hanging the DCTLs, and the dipoles won easily wrt to
