Q.R.P ROCKS GREAT VID TJ I LIKE THE GUN HI HI - DONT FORGET YOU WILL BE BETTER WITH A BALUN UGLY BALUN AT FEEDPOINT TO MAKE ANTENNA MORE EFFICIENT AND CUT DOWN ON ANY LOSSES YOU WANT THE FUL POWER UP THE SPOUT.
Thanks for posting this TJ, I'm about to buy one of those rigs and your video has swung it for me. Hope to work you on the bands one day, cheers, Tryg
Thanks for the video. I have an 817nd also and have been out three time this year with it. Twice in the mountains and once today at the ocean. Although I get great reception I have yet to make an HF contact. I think I need a bigger antenna. hi hi. 73 NZ7B
Hi William, i agree with you totally I know of an operator who bought a GI0 call, an MI0 call and after getting these calls he then did an MI3!!!!! which is a bit strange. Heres the funny bit, with all these call signs he insists on using 11 meters!!!
To defende your field day spot. LOL just kidding. Its always a good idea to have a pistole while backpacking. You never know what wild life you may run into.
+1 on the single action revolver.
I just got my 817 today, and so far it's a lot of fun.

Nicely done, planning on getting an 817nd myself, any tips on the antenna? Homebrew? I think I'm liking qrp.
Thanks

The radio will over heat if placed on top of a blanket. Especially considering the 817 doesn't have a fan.
