Showcasing the classic Yaesu FT-840. A great radio which many wish Yaesu still manufactured.

  • @fulviotesta Thanks for watching my videos. I no longer have my FT840-- BUT it was a good radio. I gave it to my brother who just got his ham license. The 840 is a GREAT radio!!! Best to you from Huntsville, ALABAMA. 73.

  • Don't worry. It's not what it appears to be. My display *is* orange NOT green. The low lighting in the radio room and cheap video camera made it appear to be green. Thanks for viewing.

  • IS there a way to make an FC-20 work with the 847? I picked up an FC-20 at a HAM fest and was just wondeirng. The Pin out seem to match. But I was wondering if there was some sorta mod of some sort that needed to be done.

    Many thanks!

    Cheers!

  • Not sure. I do have the FC-10 Auto tuner for the FT-840 but seldom use it. I just enjoy manual tuners on older radios. Of course, in the video I could have done a MUCH BETTER job of maximizing the forward needle and the minimizing the reflected one! 73.

  • Great radio and great videos. Enjoyable watching all your videos. You're a natural.

  • Thanks. Not sure about being "a natural" as much as it it the joy of talking about something you will enjoy. 73 Wil AI4QT

  • you know in what clothes shop where you find the card ioposso FM-UNIT-747, hello friend

  • If you first applied about 20w carrier into the tuner, adjust to lowest SWR/MAX power out, then turn your power back up, you won't have to keep fiddling with the knobs while you are talking.

  • how did you make your screen green? mine is orange list most but green looks much better. how is that done?

  • I just realized that I had mentioned "FC-20 work with the 847? " What I meant to say was " to get the FC-20 to work with my FT-840" I tried to find an FC-10 but had no luck on ebay. I think you did a great job on the video and I too love my 840 I picked that up at a ham fest as well in mint I mean mint condition. Well thanks for getting back to me. Best wishes! Cheers!

  • very nice qso
