Hi group (again)..... (oh! not him again , so soon! isn't he the one
who just run my pc outa disk space with his last msg? yawn!)
sorry lads just thought Id start off with a bit of english humour,
My priority questions on the FT817 woud be.....................
Minimum tx pwr ? 50mw then 250 500 1w 2w 5w ??
Current drain on the above ??
Does it get warm on rx ?
(it is small and the 100 & 706 does,and they are ventilated)
How warm on tx ?
Are both the front (top) bnc & rear So239 inter-linked ie. do both do
either ? (that sounds confusing) ed. what I mean is 160m-70cm at the
front and 160-70cm at rear so you have a choice (I hope its not just
vhf bnc & hf rear!!!
Cannot see any sort of auto atu in there unless theyre more cunning
than we thought ??
Does it have same 3 position equalising dsp based speech system as on
the FT100 ??
anyhow thats enough to be going on with I think Pres how about you ?
and as Pres says how are u going to use yours.........answers on a
postcard please to...............(another bit of english humour.
oh well ttfn all de John.
