Possibly your "alignment menu" (secret menu) has been improperly accessed/tampered with. Does the radio front panel ACCURATELY indicate voltage of batteries...
Lee, one thing to consider is the useable capacity of the battery - just because it is rated as a 30Ah battery doesn't mean you will get that amount out of it....
You are going to have trouble - not enough panel. Unless you take off most of the night. It will delay your end, but it will not stop it. I just got off...
RX 450mA TX 2,5W 1400mA TX 5W 1900mA Yes I think that 30Ah battery is enough for 24h continuous working, you just can't deplete it. I have done a simple excel...

Hi Folks, I could really use some help here. I'm new to CW and filters, and the 817nd is my first rig. I've installed the YF-122C. On Menu 38, I set it to...
Hi John, Odds are that you installed the filter upside down. The filter must face away from the main PCB, i.e., when installed, you should be about to read...
Hi Barry, That was indeed my problem. Well I sure don't feel like a genius today. Even though the diagram in the manual doesn't show "filter side up", nor...
