Yha-63 Antenna

[Lenora Rademacher]

For2M/70CM operation, users can employ the short tip on the main base antenna. Conversely, for 6M operation, the longer tip on the main base should be utilized. This antenna provides flexibility and convenience, allowing operators to adapt to different frequency bands with ease using the appropriate tip. The YHA-63 is designed to ensure reliable and efficient performance for users of the FT-817 transceiver.

The FT-817 antenna YHA-63 is a spare antenna designed specifically for the FT-817ND radio. It operates on the 6m, 2m, and 70cm bands, making it versatile and suitable for a wide range of frequencies. This antenna is specifically designed to work with the FT817-ND radio model, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. With its compact size and lightweight design, it is a convenient option for portable operations or when space is limited. The FT-817 antenna YHA-63 is a reliable spare antenna that provides excellent signal reception and transmission capabilities for the FT-817ND radio.

The Yaesu FT-818ND is a very compact all-mode portable transceiver for all shortwave bands, 6 m, 2 m and 70 cm. The maximum transmit power is 6 watts. It can be reduced to 2.5, 1 and 0.5 watts.

The receiver operates continuously from 100 kHz to 56 MHz as a double super and thus enables very good values with regard to sensitivity and large-signal behaviour. With the factory-installed TCXO, the transceiver achieves a frequency stability of 0.5 ppm. A mechanical Collins filter can be fitted, which offers maximum selectivity in a power-saving manner.

In a further range from 76 to 164 MHz, AM aeronautical radio and FM broadcasting can be received in addition to amateur radio in the 2 m band. The 70 cm reception range from 420 to 470 MHz also goes far beyond the 70 cm amateur radio band. Two channels can be monitored simultaneously (dual watch), 208 memory channels are available in total.

The antenna connection on the back of the unit is a PL socket, a BNC socket is mounted on the front. Which output is used can be selected per amateur radio band. An electronic Morse key is integrated into the unit, which is capable of semi-break-in and thus also represents a high-quality portable QRP solution for CW.

The FT-818ND offers operation on all shortwave bands from 160 to 10 m including 60 m as well as on the 6 m, 2 m and 70 cm bands. The maximum transmit power is 6 W in SSB/CW and 2 W in AM. SSB (USB/LSB), CW, AM and FM modes are available. The small size of 135 mm x 38 mm x 165 mm and the weight of only 900 g make the FT-818ND the ideal portable radio to carry in your backpack, but of course it can also be used in your car or at home in your shack.

The high ease of use of the FT-818ND all-mode transceiver is ensured, among other things, by the large and easy-to-read LC display, which can be backlit in golden yellow or sky blue, depending on personal preference. A large tuning knob, a volume/squelch control, and a multifunction knob, together with the menus, ensure quick and clear operation. Three buttons on the front panel can be freely assigned according to the user's preferences.

The FT-818ND supports the ATAS-25 portable antenna, which covers all bands from 40 m to 70 cm. The scope of delivery includes handheld microphone MH-31A8J, rechargeable battery SBR-32MH (9.6 V / 1900 mAh), empty battery case, 12 V cable, clip-on antenna YHA-63 and a carrying strap. Packet radio is supported at 1200 and 9600 bps.

The power supply of 13.8 V / 2.7 A (possible are 8 to 16 V) is possible with a mains adapter, with the built-in rechargeable battery, but also by battery mobile, or on a field day or expedition.

The radio is a fully self-contained, battery-powered, low power amateur MF/HF/VHF/UHF transceiver for portable/camping/mountain top use. Providing coverage of of the 160-10 meter amateur bands including 60m, plus the 6 meter, 2 meter and 70 cm bands, the FT-817ND includes operation on the SSB, CW, AM, FM and digital modes. This radio is designed for use either from an external DC source or internal batteries and provides up to 5 watts of power output when on external DC power. When using the battery pack or 8 AA cells (not supplied), the radio automatically switches to 2.5 watts. The multi-function LCD screen includes selectable blue or amber backlighting which may be disabled for battery conservation. This radio comes with: MH-31A8J Hand mic, FNB-85 Ni-MH 1400 mAh battery (THIS BATTEERY IS A JOKE) FBA-28 Battery case (for 8 x AA cells not supplied) (THE BATTERY WONT LAST LONG ON TRANSMIT), AC wall charger, YHA-63 Whip antenna for 50/144/430 MHz, E-DC-6 DC cable and shoulder strap. Installation note: only one optional filter may be installed in the FT-817ND.

The standard accessories of the IC-705 do not include the VHF/UHF whip antenna, antenna conversion connector, and battery charging AC adapter. In addition, the announcement revealed that a tripod screw hole is provided on the bottom of the IC-705, and that the micro USB terminal has two COM ports. More comments below the product overview:

The IC-705 uses the RF direct sampling method, which is highly evaluated by the IC-7300 / IC-9700. A variety of functions including a real-time spectrum scope and waterfall display, which boast the highest speed and resolution, are realized in a lightweight 1kg (including the attached lithium-ion battery BP-272) and compact body. In addition, a large 4.3-inch color display that supports touch operations allows you to intuitively operate various functions.

In addition, a maximum output of 5W is achieved with the included battery (BP-272) and a maximum output of 10W with an external power supply (at 13.8V). In addition to supporting connection using WLAN / Bluetooth wireless technology, it is also equipped with a GPS antenna, micro USB connector, and microSD card slot. Of course, it supports DV (digital voice) mode of digital communication D-STAR for amateur radio recommended by JARL (Japan Amateur Radio Federation). Fully equipped with D-STAR functions including terminal mode / access point mode.

My FT-817ND has the optional TXCO-9 oscillator installed as well as the Collins CW Filter $200 USD) and I threw away the lousy batteries and installed the WindCamp 3000mah Lithium Polymer (3S) battery.

This is now a FT-818 radio based on the enhancements made by the Yaesu Engineers (Tak, Miso, Hiro, and Yoshi) because there is really no change to the radio except for some new bits included in the box.

The radio is a fully self-contained, battery-powered, low power amateur MF/HF/VHF/UHF transceiver for portable/camping/mountain top use. Providing coverage of of the 160-10 meter amateur bands including 60 meters, plus the 6 meter, 2 meter and 70 cm bands, the FT-818 includes operation on the SSB, CW, AM, FM and digital modes. This radio is designed for use either from an external DC source or internal batteries and provides up to 6 watts of power output when on external DC power.

Why the Yaesu engineers (Tak, Miso, Hiro, and Yoshi) did not create a mini FT-891 in an 817 chassis is beyond me and a real market miss step. They took the 897 board and stuck into the 857 so they could have done similar here. A FT-819 being a 10 watt version of the FT-818 would have been awesome.
