Bumping up the power to 10 watts implies that the FT-817's frame will now be asked to dissipate at least 10 more watts of heat - for a total of 30 watts of power consumption by the final amplifier (assuming that the efficiency of the amplifier remains constant, that is.) Practically speaking. Feb 19, 2012 First test with Arduino tuner. The Lock button on FT817 is used to tune the capacitor. On 20 and 40 meters (actually) there is a fast tuning function. Providing up to five watts of power output, the FT-817 is designed for operation on the 160-10 meter HF bands, plus the 6 meter, 2 meter, and 70 cm bands. Whether your preferred operating mode is.
I was ready to leave Loyd Park in Grand Prairie and the front air leve..read moreI was ready to leave Loyd Park in Grand Prairie and the front air leveling system was leaking air and would not raise the motorhome. Not drivable. So, I called Quality RV repair who I've done business with before, but turn out they don't work on the Freightliner chassis. Seconds later she is giving me Tommy's name and number. I called it but got voicemail. It was getting late in the day. My family had already gone home, so I called and arranged for another night, thinking Tommy probably would not call back. But a short time later Tommy did call. Said he would be out soon. Soon was very soon as it turned out. You don't find service people like Tommy very often. He crawled under the bus and determined the valve needed to be replaced. He called several places and left with the bad valve as one place said the may have one. Turns out no, but Freightliner Dallas did and he put it in will call. I drove to Dallas and picked up the part that night. Tommy met me back at the campsite 7 ish the next morning and fixed it. Apparently this part had been partially bad for a long time. My Motorhome rides better, handles better, is much quitter and sets higher then before. When I park I can tell the volume of air being released is much greater than bofore. Can't say enough good about Tommy. He gave me a very reasonable rate for his labor as well. We need more Tommy's in the world. Ken
FT817 + SDR Dongle = Panadapter
Thanks to Roberto IZ2FOB, he pointed me in right direction with the link to the panadapter mod for the FT817.
In this pdf Mike N1JEZ explain how to tap the 68.33 Mhz IF from the little Yaesu to feed an SDR USB dongle receiver.
He use an inside-mounted buffer amplifier, a mmic, and an external commercial filter to clear the IF before the dongle.
I don’t like it so much, instead I prefere to put everything outside the rig.
He use the FT-817 on 3cm with a transverter, probably does not want other boxes around.
So I’ve only tapped the signal with a small smd capacitor of 4.7pF.
If needed, the buffer will follow.

First tests with EasySDR dongle (with 96kHz beta firmware) are ok!
I want to use it to monitor the 50MHz band, but it works on any band covered by the FT-817: 160m-70cm.

The dongle can receive on AM/FM/SSB/CW about +/-40kHz around the frequency selected on the FT-817.
So, to check the beacon band on 6m, 50.050 is our LO (coverage few less of 50002-50098)
1) Tune the FT-817 on 50050 CW
2) Start HDSDR then click Options-> ExtIO Frequency Options, Select “SDR Hardware on IF Output” and insert here 68330000 in Hz

3) On the LO counter insert the frequency 0050.050.000

4) If the frequency axis is mirrored (higher frequencies on the left and lowers on the right) select Options and “Swap I and Q Channels”
