  • I use the FT817 with a Par 10/20/40 QRP Endfed and works really well, no complaints very good value for money, buy one you will not be disappointed. G1HQK

  • I'm thinking of getting the 10-20-40 EndFedz. What do you think of that model as compared to the regular 40?

  • Also...it would be SSB.

  • Great QRP contact. How do you think an 817 without add-ons would do with an EndFedz 10/20/40? I'm thinking of getting one and was cautious about only 5 watts and bad solar conditions. Plus, I'm a newbie to HF, so I don't know much about it past using a radio at Field Day.

  • I am ordering my 817 tomorrow and I can't wait. QRP is the way to be.

  • Perfect QSO! I love that little radio. Yaesu Rocks!

  • how many watts output?

  • what is the ssb output when connected to the power meter how many watts is it putting out according to the external power meter - i ask because on a standard 100w rig on ssb voice the average is probably only around 35 watts power transmitted not 100w unless you whistle etc so whats the power reading if the 817 i would have thought reality is that it is probably only talking 3 or 4 watts tnx.

  • what you have microphone set on number 1 or 2 thanks
