Hello everyone ,
read all msgs up till 4th Sept and would like to comment on a few.....
Price in UK I would have put at ?800-?850, 1 emporium says
?1k
Rubber duck I would have thought should cover ALL BANDS for the
simple reason Yaesu are clever people using 5w max you can get a lot
of thin wire in a ducky only thin required for qrp.
if you want to crank up the power stick with ur FT100 1-100w!!
have ben told its a FT100 in a qrp version.
RX consumption is 150ma or 450ma max audio.
TX is 1.8Amps 5w.
If you look at yaesu pic (with ant out M socket at rear) it shows the
lcd on without orange or blue light hence will switch out.
there shouldnt be any need for fan, your average 5w handy is plastic
cased not needing 1 the FT817 ia exactly same size as 2 Yupiteru
MVT7100 scanners side by side with a aluminium chassis so it will
definitley not need one, also rx consumption says this.
I have a few other points to make but will drop another message
shortly.
good group see you soon John G0VGZ Durham England
PS to be released in Japan end Sept US Dec and maybe also UK
depending if EU has been passed.
