... Good morning, Dave. The only two such amplifiers I have heard of, or been able to find any information about, are models from RM Italy and Tokyo Hy Power,...
That's correct. Not only did they eliminate the drive limit, but elimiated the ban that prevented the applifiers from operating on 12 and 10mtrs as well. That...
Hi Richard, ... They don't "get around" the rules. You, as a ham, can build an amplifier, any amplifier so long as it meets the requirements with regard to...
Isn't there a article on setting up a FT-817 for working the sats?? I've looked around for it but again my searching skills suck. hi hi I tried the steps in...
I haven't seen one specifically for the 817, but amsat.org has quite a few available. Some of the satellites they mention though are no longer in use as some...

Chris, DJ0MDJ, discovered that R1266 in his 2006 Lot 90 FT-817ND measured 3K3, not 10K, as shown on both the schematic and parts list of the 2005 FT-817ND...
