I AGREE WITH WB1FPA , I HAD THE SAME RIG AND FOUND THAT INRAD FILTERS WERE MUCH BETTER THAN THE YAESU ONES .
INRAD'S PRICE IS GOOD FOR ANY HAM IN TODAYS ECONOMY .

IM SORRY YOU HAD A PROBLEM .
I BUILD ALL OF MY ANTENNAS .
THIS SHOULD SHOW OTHERS THAT QUALITY AND THEIR WORD IS NOT VERY GOOD .
THIS SHOULD BE TOLD TO ANY HAM BEFORE THEY PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY .

I HAVE OWNED THE 817ND AND THE RECEIVER IS NOISEY.
 
THE OPTIONAL CW FILTER IS A MUST HAVE.

THERE IS LITTLE TO HELP RELEAVE THE BURDEN OF NOISE AND QRM.

I SOLD THE 817ND ON E-BAY AND NOW ON A TEN TEC ARGONAUT V.

THIS IS THE BEST RECEIVER I HAVE HAD.

THE IF DSP WORKS WONDERS WORKING A GUY ON CW WHILE 2 OTHER QSO,S ARE GOING ON OR NEARBY OR ON YOUR FREQUENCY.
THE TEN TEC'S DISPLAY IS SO EASY ON MY EYES.

 THE 817ND REQUIRED A LARGE MAGNIFING GLASS.

THATS WAS A BIT MUCH I KNOW,HOWEVER IF YOU OWN ONE YOU UNDERSTAND.

TUNING ON SSB WITH THE 817ND WAS ALSO DIFFICULT DO TO THE LACK OF FILTERS AND DSP.

THE TEN TEC,S DSP MAKES EACH TRANSMISSION SMOOTH.

AFTER USING MY ARGONAUT V MY ELECRAFT K2 SOUNDS LIKE A 817.
 
I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTIONAL DSP UNIT INSTALLED IN MY K 2 SO I COULD NOT COMPARE THEM.

THE TUNING KNOB ON THE 817 WAS A TERRIBLE ITEM ALSO.
 
ITS SIZE IS RIGHT OUT OF A DICK TRACY POCKET WATCH.

THE FINGER DIMPLE ON THE YAESU IS MADE FOR A 4 YR OLD.

ITS NOT HARD TO OPERATE THE LITTLE RIG,IT WAS JUST NOT WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

THERE IS NO COMPRESSION IN THE 817.
 
MY TEN TEC HAS THIS AND IT TAYLORS YOUR AUDIO FOR MAXIMUM PUNCH.
I MADE MY SHARE OF DX CONTACTS WITH IT,BUT IT WAS HARD BECAUSE OF THE NOISE.

IF YOUR GUT FEELING IS SAYING NO TO THE 817 LISTEN.
YOUR INSTINT IS RIGHT
.
ITS MADE FOR SOME BUT NOT FOR ME.

GLAD WE HAVE MORE THAN ONE QRP RIG TO CHOOSE FROM.

I HAVE OWNED THE YAESU FT-817ND.

ITS SMALL AND ITS EASY TO CARRY JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE.

THE BATTERY LIFE IS OK,BUT NOT WHAT YOU MAY THINK.
 
THE ABILITY TO WORK 2 AND 70 CENTIMETERS IS FINE IF YOU WANT TO TALK ON THE LOCAL MACHINES.

I WORK CW MOSTLY,HOWEVER I GAVE MY 817ND A WORK OUT ON PHONE.

THE MICROPHONE NEEDS HELP. IF YOU CAN PLACE THE HC-5 HEIL ELEMENT IN THE MICROPHONE PLEASE DO SO.
 
THERE IS NOT ANY COMPRESSION TO FALL BACK ON.

 HEY IF WHERES THE DSP? WELL THERE IS NONE.


  THE RECEIVER IS SENSITIVE,HOWEVER WITH BOTH THE SSB AND CW FILTER INSTALLED BY W4RT HANG IT UP.

I PURCHASED THE OPTIONAL COLLINS CW FILTER AND IT DID IMPROVE CW SIGNALS.

I COMPARED IT TO MY ELECRAFT K-1,WHICH AS MANY KNOW IS CW ONLY.

I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED THAT I DECIDED TO SELL MY 817ND.

WHEN YOU PLACE SO MUCH INTO A TRANSCEIVER SO SMALL YOU ARE LEAVING OUT THINGS THAT A HAM NEEDS.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY HAM WOULD HAVE PAID MORE FOR BUILT DSP AND A BUILT IN ANTENNA TUNER?

I UNDERSTAND THIS MAY HAVE INCREASED THE SIZE JUST A BIT AND THE PRICE,HOWEVER WE USUALLY GET WHAT WE WANT.

JUST BECAUSE I CHOSE TO SELL MINE DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING. IT WAS JUST MY DECISION BASED ON WHAT I WANTED IN A QRP RIG.

IM 40 NOW AND I WAS 20 WHEN I WAS FIRST LICENSED.

ONE THING THE DISPLAY WAS TERRIBLE ON MY EYES. NO MATTER IF I MADE IT LARGER IT WAS STILL DIFFICULT.

WHEN I MADE THE FREQUENCY LARGER THE VOLTAGE DISAPPEARED ALONG WITH OTHER THINGS THAT I ENJOYED BEING THERE.

YOU CAN ADD W4RT'S DSP,HIS ENHANCED MICROPHONE,ADD BOTH BOTH FILTERS AT ONCE,BUT HOW MUCH HAVE YOU ADDED TO THE ORIGINAL COST?

I HAVE AN ELECRAFT K-2 AND A K-1. THIS IS ALL I NEED WELL BESIDES MY TEN TEC 580 DELTA.

I AM ALSO LOOKING AT THE ICOM 703 PLUS.

I HAD THE ORIGINAL 706 YRS AGO WHEN IT CAME OUT.

THE MENU SYSTEM TURNED ME OFF THEN.

NOW I KNOW ITS THE FUTURE OF HAM RADIO AS THE TRANSCEIVERS GET SMALLER.

IM GOING TO READ WHAT YOU GUYS AND GALS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE 703 PLUS.

IT MIGHT EVEN BE MY NEXT QRP RIG.
