Meant to say BNC (was N elbow connector problem with FT-817).


Steinberg, Jeffrey
 

Karl,

Thanks. I meant to say BNC, not "N" I left B and C off. I am
describing my front BNC connection.

I can't get the rubber ducky to connect to the BNC elbow I successfully
put onto the front of the radio.

I don't believe, Jeffrey, that "N" series connectors will work on the
FT-817. The front panel connector is a BNC, and the rear connector
is an SO-239 ("UHF" series).

I bought an N connector elbow so that when I use the rubber duck, it
stick
straight up
when the radio is on a table with speaker firing upward.

The connector when onto the FT-817 fine, but the rubber duck will not
for
the life of me go onto the other end
of the elbow. Paid $5.00 for this one; thought it was good. Am I
doing
something wrong or is the tolerance of this
antenna too tight for anything but the most on-spec elbow?

Anyone else have this problem? Know of a known N elbow source/part
number
that works?

I bought my used & already assembled. It is *very* easy to
calibrate. Has a calibration procedure/capabailaity built into
the
unit. You adjust a pot for a specified voltage & three more pots
for
a fixed output reading. Very easy...takes about two minutes.

The unit is well designed and appears to be quite accurate on all
three reading scales. (10W, 1W, 100mW)

The LDG digital wattmeter looks interesting also! I have yet to
try
one, but am considering purchasing one.

I can't get the rubber ducky to connect to the BNC elbow I successfully
put onto the front of the radio.

Then the elbow has a problem. If it is seated nicely on the radio the
previous comments about difficulty seating a BNC on the radio do not apply.
But you may want to do the mod anyway

Thanks
