TX ERR on 40m from .101 to .200

 

开云体育

That group are designing yet another amp, much smaller is footprint too and more

upgrades since improvement in design features. From my experience and lack of

much use for the current one I am not sure I would sell mine just to build a newer one.

I think if anything I would keep what I have and I need more power or features I would

go with an FT-991 maybe.

Not doing much of anything for the time being though.

PS. By the way during one of my longer trips to UK in the 80's I had the good fortune

to meet the Rev George and attempt to operate from a park in Oswestry with a very

under powered TX and very poor antenna with a home brew small unit. With a nice

antenna from the home area on a better antenna it worked fine.

Marty,

You are correct I do indeed have the UK version but it does appear that my rig is somewhat unique in allowing a Softmod as others with UK versions
(including my colleague who bought his within weeks of my purchase) are unable to use this method

BTW I also have a HFpacker amp..well most of it anyway as I have still to complete the build !

Hi all, sorry to undig this topic but I'm testing a FT-817 for a friend and saw that exact problem : TX ERR above 7.100 kHz. Could someone gives me a start point, as the previous pdf link is not available anymore ?
Thx, 73 Ben - ON5BGO
 

Try a search for "M0BMN widebander". That was the software I used to use to unlock coverage for 60 meter operation.
 

Thanks Nick for the trick. I downloaded his software. But that widely opens the 817, not only the second part of the 40m Band (or the 60m Band).?
Is there another kind to open just our ham’s bands ?
?
Ben.?
 

Does anybody know if the Japan version of the FT-817ND can be
configured to match the US band plan?

This mod should get you aligned with the US band plan?

Good luck,

No. Nice try, though.

I recall reading somewhere that loss of the automatic repeater shift is dependent upon whether or not that facility is enabled prior to carrying out the mod. I'm sorry that I can't remember which state it needs to be in before going ahead nor any citation. It could well be in Clint's excellent website? A web search then ...

After some considerable searching I couldn't find any reference, but Geert's comments on
?

are helpful. Resetting the radio post mod. seems to be a general requirement. Personally I ignore ARS due to the different in band offsets and directions that are required over here on UHF.

Back to the thread then- apologies.

What is the cable’s pinout to use for the M0BMN widebander software ?
