[Waverley ARS] mods for the yaseu ft 817

[Eric van de Weyer]

Hi Daniel,

 

I would warn very strongly against doing such mods to the radio. In fact, I
regard doing such mods to increase the power of almost any radio highly
dangerous for the radio. On my FT100d's I only run them at about 80% of
their rated power for normal operation to give them a bit more head room and
run them cooler. 

 

I would never try to increase the power level above what the manufacturer
has designed the rig to run at. Doing so will probably cause premature
failure of the finals and the likelihood of an expensive replacement of
them. 

 

73..Eric.
