Re: mikes
I also get good audio reports with the stock mike, but I get much better reports on transmit using a mike that can be tailored for my voice quality. This is especially true when on FM.

Re: Battery compartment (Dave Perry)
Dave: That is exactly what I needed. Did not know there was some sort of removable tray for the AA batteries. On another note, I assume that when unit is powered from a ext 12v source that there is

So Frustrating.
I read about others having success and fun with the FT-817. The only thing that has changed about my setup is that I now use the FT-817 instead of my htx-10 and FT-620b. Obviously the power levels

Re: mikes
not ATX Admittedly, this was on rx. However, since the antenna is passive, it would be going against the reciprocity theorem would it not if the same were not to be true on tx too? Also, I did not say

Re: mikes
Is that 2 s points on Rx or Tx? I think the ATX works well on Rx, just not so hot on Tx. You'd have to make me swill a lot of beer to convince the ATX was in the same game as a dipole! David

I agree Julian. Had an excellent qso today sitting in the garden, with a French station on 20m, and had a most complimentary report on the audio quality, without me asking. I'm using the standard mic

Re: Ft-817-MP1 / W3FF Tests
One of the (many) things I mean to do sometime, but haven't yet, is to play around with different upper and lower masts for the MP-1. It's incredibly easy -- you can get 36" and 48" pieces of 3/8"
