Does anyone have a list of mods for the FT-817 yet??? I am interested in out-of-band TX for MARS, CAP, CB, FRS, police/fire, etc. Thought I'd be the first to ask.

I guess we know who is on the cutting edge of technology. I bet they read our comments. I hope the cooling fans on the FT-817 are quieter than the FT-100 and D. the fans on the FT-90 are some what better and you can custom program them. Hopefully on the 817 RX there will be no fan, just an adequate heat sink. nothing blows worse that having a fan come on when i'm trying to copy some weak signal. Difficult to see but looks like a fan shrouding on the back of the rig to me. Any body have any comments or information? Mike K0YO

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.

Have been trying to send official pic to site but keep getting it wrong for some reason ignore msgs 56 56 58 I cancelled will try e-mailing has anyone got correct adress to e-mail pic to the groups file directory ? Dont ask me to do it while on here it doesnt work de John

Finally, a scan of the entire brochure... http://www.cq3.nl/standard-ft-817/ If only I could read Japanese! -- Rob Peebles, W8LX Dublin, Ohio W8LX@...

Just another thought the stated tx draw is 1.8amps this is i presume for 5 watts out if in this case ur using batt pack (stated 2watts out) the draw will be about 8-900ma giving an even longer time between portable charges !! if so its better than i thought Incidentally I suggested to Mr Sam Ruddy @ Yaesu uk about 6 months ago for them to manufactur a 10w version of FT100 with the probability of an add on linear as the FT290r mkII so as to do away with the bulk, the fan and 100w stages which would make a very small qrp ideal rig he said there is no market for this ....... low and behold the FT817 is imminent. Strange that isnt it.

So far by enlarging the brochure on Word I could decipher a few new infos First and foremost the rig has a built in keyer, a swr metre, some kind of input for packet,RTTY, and PSK31, IPO,attenuator, and IF shift.Plus the unit can be operated from 8 to 16V as does the Ft290/690/790. Also the VOX and CAT system are present. The options inlude a TXCO, a CW,and SSB filtres , a battery pack, and a DTMF mic among others. Maybe one of you computer whizz could enlarge the specs section and let us know what kind of numbers it reveals. 73 de Patrick W3PO/VQ9PO/ex:F6DWY ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

John wrote Well they would, conversion puts the price between 500 and 700, new buy's (must have's) will be screwed as usual....Worked for the soggy moggie co way back, 208 factory gate price ~75, import duty etc add 50 reasonable profit 100% mark-up MINIMUM....Of course the UK is a small market (the usual retailers claim). methinks a call to my man in tokyo is in order ;-) Rgds Niel Tele. 02380 592955 Fax. 02380 593149 Views expressed are personal and not those of the University, unless otherwise & expressly stated.

Can you tell if there is an Internal Battery pack? There was a reference to running it off AA batteries. Or is there a external clip on pack ala FTx90R-II's.

Looking still at the brochure , and at the options section one can see a FNB 72 @9.6V. FNB has always been the prefix for Yaesu battery serie. Let me know if someone has fiddle with the specs section on the bottom right. I can barely see the numbers on the Rx and the few clearly visible are surely pretty decent. 73 de Patrick W3PO/VQ9PO/ex:F6DWY ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

I have searched for 3 nights for more info on 817 no japanese sight seems to be showing anything yet. 1 sight had details but no pics and the details were very sparse. does anyone know of a new flat speaker of about the same size as the 817 about 10-15mm thick I think this would be an ideal way to have decent quality while out portable strapped to the underneath. me thinks Yaesu have designed the top mounted speaker in the wrong place, its ok if you have it mounted flat but if you are holding it & tuning with the ducky on it surely a bottom mounted speaker would have been better as this is the side which will be facing you. de John.

I would like to see an option of a removable front fascia to mount it like I have done with my 706 .Used in a leather case qrp only. Also to the guy who was wondering if he needs a car battery to lug class it as using the same power consumption as the VX5 I know this uses Li-on but the 9.6v on 817 will have a slot for their ni-mh 9.6v pack which will be removeable to place 8 AA batteries in it probably double the capacity than most handy batt packs thats my thought....... watch this space and quote me on it I,m confident de John.

Sorry guys I know this pic is clear but its all I received. no data attached I have had a closer look at the other pic and noted....... The Ni-cd pack (9.6v) will be 8 x 1.2v cells = 2w out so if u use ni-mh 1.5v aa cells you are going to have 12v = 4-5w out 4 home channels 1 for each hf,6,2 & 70cm. pms = 2 ch (Lch/Uch) qmb total of 208 channels main ones in 10 banks of 20 channels. cw width 50,300,1000Hz dot-dash 4-60wpm ARTS with cw id APO & TOT (Auto power off & time out timer adjustable) FM TX has both 2.5kcs & 5kcs deviation. The sensitivity as I can see is as follows........... SSB/CW AM FM (ATT ON) 100k-1.5mhz - 3.2 - 1.5-20mhz 0.25 2 - 20-30mhz 0.35 ? 0.5? 50-54mhz ? ? ? 144-148mhz 0.125 ? 0.2? 430-440mhz 0.125 ? 0.2? (ATT OFF) SSB/CW/AM FM 100k-1.5mhz - - 1.5-20mhz 2.5 - 20-30mhz 2.5 0.325?? 50-54mhz 1 0.5 144/430 ? ? I have tried to sharpen image but cannot some of figures may be doubtful as to what they really are, I am going to hunt down the web-site the glossy came from. de John

Hi Everyone, courtesy of Kohei Nishiyama (JR0BAQ/ EI4VWT), here is a web site of a Japanese dealer who is taking orders on the FT-817 (which will be released in Japan on the 19th September) << http://www.uedamusen.co.jp/kobe/ft817.html >> The most interesting bit is the internal veiws of the rig (incluning internal AA cell battery pack) which rather disapointingly looks rather spartan...... Still it works though....... ENJOY...... 73's Vic G7PYR

I have been awaiting the arrival of the FT817 for years. I have enjoyed the triplets(209/690/790) for years. I am in the US merchant navy and do extensive travelling each year. For me the 817 will me my shortwave radio, my HF/vhf when I visit my relatives in France, and a all together tote along radio for all uses. I do enjoy qrp a lot but for the ones among us who do not I have found a company CCI which advertise in all major mags, and sell HF/VHF amps all made with Motorola transistors. Be advise that after seeing their brochure , the only thing you receive is the board loaded. Connectors, enclosure etc is your doing.

Hi. I just thought I would mention that there are over 90 of us now! How soon to a hundred? Anyone want to post/repost what they would do with this cool little rig when they get one? I have heard transverter exciter... that's a neat application. Anyone? Pres Waterman W2PW c/o Patchogue Motors, Inc. Long Island Ford and Kia Dealer GO BILLS!
