As a U.S. Army veteran,I wish to extend to all my appreciation for your good wishes and remembrance of the sacrifices made by others to benefit us all, and...
Hi John, Below 14 Mhz or so, you should use the build-in IPO (Intercept Point Optimizer) to reduce the noise level. Actually this disables the pre-amp (press F...
Nancy, from what I know the non ND 817 and the ND 817 both will go into the self destruct mode if the batteries are left in the rig and the voltage drops....
Sanyo has 2700 mAh AA batteries but I never tried them. the BEST AA RECHARGEABLE Ni-MH BATTERIES AVAILABLE ! 2700mAh SANYO AA Nickel Metal Hydride cell. ...
Generally, if using Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) batteries, discharging below 3.0 volts per cell is not good, and going below 2.75 volts per cell may cause damage,...
John -- If you've got S7 noise on several bands, no "signal processing" will help much. Several questions: 1. What's the noise level on the FT-100, when it's...
I've just uploaded two pics from the stand I made for my FT-817. Simple and inexpensive, just two clamps I picked up at Wal-Mart and one half of cable conduit...
... There are so many generalizations, mis-statements of NiMH theory, and blatant misrepresentation on that Web page describing their wares that I immediately...
... OR - just program a set of five memories for the common V/U mode on AO-51. Same transmit - now WITH the 67.0 tone on transmit - but with different freqs...
Ham Radio Outlet - Anaheim was still offering "Dayton pricing" on a couple of Maha bundles ... If I remember correctly, the Maha MH-C9000A charger and a...
As a side comment... be careful which batteries you choose. I read a article recently that reviewed some of the high capacity batteries and they found that...
The 2.700 capability for a AA made by Maha / Sanyo, makes sense. This is the way to go... You can check on my website the way I use to power a FT817 for a long...
I agree with Clint on the MAHA stuff. After suffering through retail-brand batteries and chargers for my cameras and GPS units, I discovered the MAHA batteries...
Works for me. I've done it with the FT-817 and the FT-60. Just listen for the receive to start sounding off-frequency and move to the next memory location. If...
Hi Bob Well I did use the 11.1 volt with a small QRP SST radio but that small rig will still operate down to 8 volts. I just happened to look at the battery...
One thing I forgot to mention is about a year ago I had a hash picked up with my mag loop mounted in the other room. The problem was that tiny charger for the...
Gracias for the info. I *finally* got a junkbox 40m inverted V up in the air and was messing around on HF today. I remembered the email and tried it -- the IPO...
... IPO settings. Not much else IMHO. But its not really intended for such. In the past, i got the power company (i could write a small book on that) to fix...
I've got a custom stand I prototyped on a CNC router at work -- a local 817 user is testing it for me to see if it would sell or not. If so, we'll probably...
Yup. On one of the QRZ forums someone was asking for help with a rotor control that was making his PC or radio lock up. Everyone threw out all sorts of...
Hi I will look into the MAHA stuff, thanks for the tip. Did buy a few Dura*** AA for use with the 817 and nearly all are dead in about 18 months with very...
Thank you guys for your feedback. I intend to hook this puppy up to a gel cell with solar power and regulator. I'll try not to leave any of the battery packs...
Three large hard rubber door keep-openers. The type you kick under it. Purchased at the local building and supply emporium. I spray painted them black. A photo...
