I take my FT-817 with me on holiday, to have great fun in CW with a wire antenna of 10 mtrs or 20 mtrs. 10 watts or 70 watts, use just the power you need. If I can use 500 mW it's OK, but if it take 5 Watts, I use 5 Watts. hi. I use Yuasa batteries of 12 V 4 Ah.<br />73, Bert PA1BBert, PA1Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064917598289627232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548380364501168080.post-24424463642928965402011-04-14T08:42:28.759-04:002011-04-14T08:42:28.759-04:00Hi Paul, I decided to go with more power to make a...Hi Paul, I decided to go with more power to make a few contacts.

A little power more is sometimes the difference between too be heard or not. ;-) Though, between 10 watts and 70 watts is hardly 2 S-points. Portable operation is always nice to do, I will work portable on 6 meter this summer. 73 PaulPaul Stam PAØKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472039726489965017noreply@blogger.com
