I use my 817 into the ProAm range of antennas over here in the uk and have had amazing success. On five watts I have worked the world, though the best qsos...
The dialogue between Bonnie KQ6XA and Don W8AD re: antenna performance and how to fully and accurately quantify it has been interesting. Brings up a thought: I...

A new award scheme called "Summits on the Air" (SOTA) will start on 2nd March 2002 (Saturday). The idea of the scheme is to encourage people to operate from...
... It is permissable to change modes during a qso if "conditions" change. So, in the face of qrm from a nearby station, which happens to be splattering over...
Trevor, Now this is a GREAT idea, and is what I've been trying to say as to effective "on air" results (although I didn't think of this approach). That's what...

I think this covnversation would be far better suited on the hfpack list, as portable antennas are relevant to portable operation, more so than FT-817 ...
Can your power supply handle the current? Needs 3 +amps. If you pull the p/s voltage down with more current then it can handle, the 817 will shut off with the...
Dave: The 817 doesn't (in my experience) shut itself down due to high SWR. It will do exactly as you describe due to insufficient power, however. It's also...
Hi Dave, I've faced the same problem when I've been using alcaline cells at the end of their life, but never with my 15A external power supply. Obviously the ...
