Review Summary For : Yaesu FT=817 Anderson Powerpole Adapter
Reviews: 4MSRP: 15 or make it yourself
Description:
This is a no-brainer for FT-817 or ND owners, from N0WL or your own 3D printer. This Powerpole block attaches firmly to the back panel. No more stringy thin lossy factory power cable or worrying about breaking off the barrel. All you need to know is in the link.
Product is in production

Neat Solution to the Yaesu Power Socket "Issue" Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
These little devices are great and a definite guarantee against problems arising with the Yaesu FT-x17 power socket. The only reason I have docked a star is because it seems that when used on an FT818, the display backlight will not extinguish even if set to do so. It's a little unfair to mark down such a fine product for what is definitely a side effect of the Yaesu FT818 "upgrade", but if you buy one for your FT818, you need to be aware and that surely is the raison d'etre of eHam? I have not been able to establish what causes this anomaly, but I know I'm not alone.

Nice addition For the FT-817 Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This adapter is an excellent accessory and creates a sturdy power hookup point for the 817. All of my power sources use Anderson plugs This adapter makes interchanging batteries very quick, easy and safe. I approached the manufacture with a question and his response was quick and spot on.

These are great! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I've always worried about the flimsy external power connector on my FT-817s. I found these online and ordered them for both of my FT-817 radios. Perfect fit and look to be a rugged connector for external power. Thanks Jon P, N0WL, for a fine product.
