Wow! This looks like THE amp for the '817' Full output from 2-30 mHz with only .2watts of drive! Personally I like QRP fine but for those of you that MUST have an amp this looks like it would be GREAT!

It looks like you could carry it on your bicycle... |

With regard to, no need for amps, last night I had my first opportunity to

operate my new FT-817 from aboard my boat (a 30 Ft Bayliner cruiser). Since I don't have any HF antennas installed on there yet, I mounted a 20 meter Maldol whip on the back of my Z11 tuner with a coax elbow and a BNC adaptor. I set the tuner with the whip attached on top of the bridge (probably 6 or 7 feet above the water and draped an 11 foot radial over the captains chair toward the stern letting the end just fall onto the fiberglass deck. Then I went down into the cabin plugged FT-817 into a cigarette lighter jack (no special wiring required for this little rig) to see if this would work at all. As soon as I turned the power switch on, there was Dan, S52KA calling CQ on 20 CW. Not really expecting him to hear me I answered his call and much to my surprise and delight he came back and gave me a 579. I went on to make several more DX contacts on 20 CW all of whom answered on the first call. Yes there may be times when an amp would help but you aren't going to just plug that into a cigarette lighter jack and what a thrill it is to do it with 5 watts and a makeshift antenna! --- 73, Rich - W3ZJ -----Original Message-----
