back light it drops substantially. Same problem with the IC 706. Jerry W3cde -----Original Message-----

If the receive current of the ft-817 is truly 450mA as our friend from Japan has said, I seriously doubt I'll buy one. I had heard earlier that the receive current was around 150mA. I wonder why the disparity in these numbers? Regards, Mike M. KU4QO To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: FT817-unsubscribe@... |

It has 150ma rx draw on switch on with no volume and 450ma at full
volume (who runs a rig at full volume) ?

That's pretty high alright, but about what I expected. I'll probably buy

one, but as more of a "pocket 847" rather than a serious manpack/QRP rig. I already have plenty of those anyway, although I'm always on the lookout for another. Tracy, KU4FL -----Original Message-----

Has anyone actually confirmed this?

I guess the numbers make sense. About 3 watts dissipated at full volume (1 watt or so of audio out). Anyone? Regards, Mike Maiorana, KU4QO g0vgz@... wrote:

Cannot remember where I seen figures but it should, if I remember
correctly draw 150ma on low to medium vol levels ok if you have cans on or are listening with a quiet background. But also bear in mind most handies draw similair currents and run of approx 4 AA cells , the 817 has 8 AA cells. Personally this has not deterred me in the slightest. Thank goodness Yaesu have had the decency to add an AA holder as opposed to a custom sealed ni-cd pack or similair. We all know the AA battery is now an industry standard in most applications, the technology is slowing to ideas of shrinking components with low consumption. This leaves it wide open to battery manufacturers to take over. Again watch this space , My guess is that we will see an AA Li-on cell with voltage to 1.5v as opposed to 3.6v (as present) with excellent amps per hour possibilities, hence a good life for all us FT817 user's.
