Yaesu FT-817 ND Series Filter Episode
This 5w QRP transceiver has been around for about 20 years but I've only just discovered it. I think it's brilliant and I want to share with you what I've found out about setting up and using the FT-817ND. In this video I show how I reset and then set up my scrambled radio so that it worked well for me on CW and SSB - with great results on low power QRP amateur radio bands.
