1FT-817ND Operating Manual

The FT-817ND is a compact, innovative multiband, multimode portable transceiver for the

amateur radio MF/HF/VHF/UHF bands. Providing coverage of the 160-10 meter bands

(include the 60 m band: USA version) plus the 6 m, 2 m, and 70 cm bands, the FT-817ND

includes operation on the SSB, CW, AM, FM, and Digital modes, yielding the most compre-

hensive performance package available for portable operation.

Designed for use either from an external DC power source or internal batteries, the FT-

817ND provides five watts of power output from a 13.8-Volt external power supply. When

using the FNB-85 Ni-MH Battery Pack or 8 “AA” Alkaline Cells (not supplied), the FT-

817ND automatically switches to 2.5 Watts of output power. Via the Menu system, “High”

power may be selected during battery operation, providing as much as 5 Watts of output,

depending on the operating frequency.

The multi-function Liquid-Crystal Display includes Blue, Amber, and Violet backlighting,

which may be disabled for battery conservation. The display includes bar-graph indication

of power output, ALC voltage, SWR, and modulation level. Also include are a number of

operating status icons, as well as the function displays for the three operating function keys

( , , and ).
