What is the difference between the G-800SA and the G-800SDX rotors? I do not see the G-800SDX even listed on Yaesu's website, They only have the G-800, G-800SA, and G-800DXA.
I'm having a problem with my AL-811H amplifier and wanted to see if any one had any suggestions. I turned it on this morning and let it warm up a few minutes. I turned the out power all the way down on my radio (FT-847) and keyed the mic. The amp keyed and the needles went to their normal positions. Then I slowly started turning the power up. With just a few watts of drive, the amplifier keying relay started chattering and the meter needles started swinging from 0 to fully pegged and back a few times. Then the 12A fuses in the back both blew. I unplugged it and removed the cover but didn't see any obvious signs of damage. I replaced the fuses it turned on and had the correct high voltage. I tryed keying it again with the same results and another blown fuse. I'm not sure where to start checking for problems/bad components. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the replies. You were right about the DTR line. I made a new cable and crossed the DTR and DSR lines and now I have two way communication between the radio and computer. The manual for the FT-847 only shows the serial in, serial out, and ground pins being used.
Hi, I'm trying to connect my FT-847 to my computer. I have the cable connected to my serial port and have tried several programs with it. I can send commands to the radio and change bands/modes etc, but there doesn't seem to be any information getting from the radio to the computer. The readout on the computer screen doesn't update the band/mode information. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
I recently purchased an Ameritron AL-811H and I need to know how to modify it for use on the 10 and 12 meter bands. I faxed a copy of my license to Ameritron but they haven't responded. If anyone can help me out I would sure appreciate it.
