Need transmitting help!


 

I have goofed up on some setting somewhere. When I am trying to
transmit on 2 mtrs. and key the mic, the red light comes on but I see
PO 7.000 on the dial. What happened and how do I fix that? thanks...I
have been out of ham radio so long, I have forgotten a lot of basics!

Hi Jo,

My first reaction is that you have "Split" enabled some how.
I assume you have something like 146.525 on the display, and
then when you press the PTT the 7.00 is appearing.?

I don't have my manual to hand. Look in the manual for operating
in split mode.
That is receiving on one frequency, and transmitting on another.

I couldn't figure it out even with the manual ;-) I have been just
playing around with this thing so decided to just do a HOME + POWER on
and start all over. It seems to be working OK on 2 meters now. Jo

Jo. I have just got to laugh WITH you. The first couple of weeks when
I was getting used to the little beastie, I had to do that reset
quite often. I'd get the FT817's settings all mucked up somehow and
couldn't figure what I'd done. The manual is far too obtuse.
Kind regards,
