#1 - a cw filter. I have the 300 and am really impressed with it. #2 - the W4RT battery accessory (www.w4rt.com). DOn't have one yet, but it's on the list. #3 - the Hugh McCully book on the FT-817. Concise and much better than the factory manual. mike wb5yjx codpilot@... wrote: Well, don't know the spelling 8-#) Thanks to the crowd, I've been lurking for a while and decided to jump in. 1 FT-817 is shipping Monday from Gigaparts! (Aside - ordered with 3 day shipping, George check the time to travel, found that ground was 2 days, and since ground was free - shipped it GROUND!! Now that's service!) Well, now for the fun part. I've followed the discussions (or is that cuss'ins) on the various add-ons. What do you consider your 3 most important adds to the rig? I know this can be dependent on planned usage so here her goes. Planning on using it as 1) portable to my folks mountain "retirement" home, ditto the in-laws. Great trees to string a temp long wire (thinking z-11 and some random length wire?) Batteries? Other antenna for walking around the country side? (my folks are in the middle of nowhere!) ETC? Thanks for any advice - Have a great weekend! 73's Eric KG4BYY To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: FT817-unsubscribe@... and for a great FAQ ( Frequently Asked Questions ) see Please note that your messages and files sent to this group become public domain upon submission and may appear anywhere on the Internet or in print without notice or compensation.

I've seen two references on this list so far to a book by Hugh McCully about
the FT-817. This is the first I've heard of it. I'm seriously considering getting an 817, and this book sounds like just what I need to help make the decision. Ordering information and pricing would be helpful. Thanks in advance. -- //Steve// Steve Silverwood, KB6OJS AOL Instant Msgr: "steve kb6ojs" Fountain Valley, CA Yahoo Messenger: "steve_kb6ojs" Email: kb6ojs@...

Reference for the FT-817" I know of at least one source and that is the W4RT Electronics website: www.w4rt.com They are available with online ordering. I also believe they are available from GigaParts at: www.gigaparts.com also with online ordering. Both sources have good reputations for excellent service. 73, Bill W4RK Nashville, TN USA ---------- From: "Steve Silverwood" <kb6ojs@...> I've seen two references on this list so far to a book by Hugh McCully about |
