Up and running all seem to work OK but,,

Using orange screen center is darker than edges rather like a bit
cloudy in center.

NB OK on ignition noise but nothing else.

These normal.

Subject: Message Board at Mountain-Ops Communications

Greetings to all.
Just a note to let everybody know that we have added a message board.
to .
We would like to see it used for friendly contact between portable and
QRP HF enthusiasts. As well as to promote other groups of the same
content.

Also please note the new TacPack(tm) cases for the FT-100, IC-706,
SG-2020 and the Elecraft K2.

Also a new battery for us: 12V 2.5Ah SLA battery
My husband and I will be working off 3 of these on field day weekend
as our only source of power. On a SG-2020 and and 2 FT-817's.
Will also have a interesting antenna to try.
Will be taking pictures and will share them with the group.

Subject: Miracle Whip news

The people at Miracle Whip tell me the "whip" is a telescoping element.

Doesn't that mean purely mechanical contacts with some signal loss at each
joint? Also it would seem logical that skin oil will get on the sections
after a time, degrading the connections.

Subject: Field Days HFpack Invitation (special schedule)

HFpack Special Schedule 22~24 JUNE 2001

HFpack invites FT-817 operators to join in the fun surrounding Field
Day with a special emphasis on QSOs with walking portable, pedestrian,
bicycle, low power mobile, and backpack portable stations. HFpack's
special operating schedule will be in effect 22~24 JUNE 2001.
Time: 30 minutes past each hour
Frequencies:
18157kHz USB (CW 18158) +/-5kHz
24977kHz USB (CW 24978) +/-5kHz
10137kHz CW or PSK31

Background:
Field Day is a great tradition that brings ham radio operators
together. Hams venture outdoors to set up portable stations. A high
degree of activity among single-operator battery powered lightweight
HF portable is expected this year, due to the recent popularity of the
FT-817 and other low power backpack transceivers. Some will be solo...
many of us will be out setting up for Field Day and participating in
larger club efforts for the event. HFpack recognizes the desire to
contact operators who are using similar gear and experience some of
the fun with them on the air. The HFpack special operating schedule
serves as a meeting place for those who want to share a QSO away from
the contest crowd or relax during a break in the action.

Hi Bil,

I'm sorry..
But I think we have done this one to death..(many times)

I don't think this is news,
To the best of my knowledge this type of telescopic whip
as always functioned in this way..!!

Does somebody know if there are any monophones
built for 817, or how to make it ?
It would be easier to use radio when
walking in the forest etc..

Hi,
thats me again...

The solution is VERY easy... The BNC plus is an
RCA/BNC adaptor just pressed
in.

Could easily removed and replaced by a new one (or a
UHF plug for example).

Just pull the BNC plug out of the antenna using a
BNC jack or just some
pliers.

You will see a standard adaptor coming out.
Take care, there could be a small white plastic
washer, not loose it.
Replace the dead adaptor by a new one, thats it!

If you dont have such an adaptor and cannot buy it
round the corner, we will
send you one as a letter.

OK?
Sorry for the trouble...

Stereo headphones, such as for a walkman, work just fine (i.e.,
you'll hear in both ears). Nice touch by Yaesu.

I just use a set of 'ear buds' or regular light weight head phones
that are made for radios, cd players, etc. Jo K5HOY

Be carefull! I purchased 1800 mah Nimh batteries at Dayton. Their
outside diamter is a little larger than normal (at least the ones I
bought), and they don't fit in the FT-817 holder!! For about the same
price you can get the W4RT "One-plug power" unit that you can
quick charge with the external MaHa charger without removing the
battery pack.

Phil,
I wanted to purchase the W4RT "One-plug power" unit at Dayton but they

were

sold out. I ordered one at that time but have not yet received it yet.

Its'

been a month and still waiting.

Would like to hear some comments about the unit if anyone has actually

used

one.
