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.

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.

I am using a Par Electronics End Fed 40 dipole. It is about 66 feet long and is supported at each end at about 12 feet above the ground. It is working really well. Thank you for the interest
