11. Push and hold the TUNE button on the front of the Z-817H for one second (until the Status
LED comes on), then release. The transceiver automatically switches to PKT mode, and keys
up with a minimal amount of power, and the Z-817H begins a tuning cycle. At the end of the
tuning cycle, the original mode and power level is restored.
12. Wait for the tuning cycle to end, then un-bypass the amplifier if desired, and you’re now
ready to operate!
SPECIFICATIONS
•
0.1 to 75 watts SSB and CW peak power, 50W on digital modes and 6 meters. 50W max
when used with non-FT-817 radio.
•
Latching relays for ultra-low power operation.
•
2,000+ memories for instantaneous frequency and band changing.
•
Power: 6V power supplied from long-lasting internal AA alkaline batteries.
•
Designed specifically for the Yaesu FT-817 transceiver.
•
Will also work with non-FT-817 radios, but without automation of the radio.
•
Pass-thru CAT port allows Z-817H to control the FT-817 over the CAT bus while still
allowing a host PC to also control the radio. Also permits seamless integration with Tokyo
Hi Power HL-45B amplifier.
•
Pass-thru CAT port waits for idle CAT activity before controlling the transceiver.
•
1.8 to 54.0 MHz coverage. Frequency for memory storage is read from the radio via CAT.
•
Tunes 4 to 800 ohm loads (16 to 150 on 6M), 16 to 3200 ohms with optional 4:1 Balun.
•
For Dipoles, Verticals, Vees, Beams or any Coax Fed Antenna.
•
Optional external Balun allows tuning of random length, long wire or ladder line fed
antennas.
•
Dimensions: 7.6”L x 5.6”W x 1.75”H.
•
Weight: 1 lb., 6 oz.
