Re: Squelch at FM mode works not correct

 

As a last ditch resort before replacing the pot, I have dismantled them before and given them a clean. Generally the wiper either gets corrosion on it or it's just general dirt buildup (use switch cleaner or my preferred method of ipa). They are usually very easy to take apart by bending a couple of clips that you can easily bend back afterwards.
Good luck finding a replacement if you have to, as spare parts are now very few and far between unless you buy used, which comes with its own potential problems.

Good luck

Squelch at FM mode works not correct

 

Hi FT-847 users,

I have the problem with my FT-847 that with FM the squelch closes a
little, but when turning the knob further to the right, the squelch
opens again. If the squelch knob were a clock face and if there is no
signal on the VHF/UHF band: So if the knob starts at 7 o'clock and the
squelch closes at 8 o'clock, it opens again at about 11 o'clock and then
remains open until the right stop. With SSB everything works fine. I
would venture over with meters, oscilloscope etc if I knew where to
start. Is there a comparator or Schmitt trigger where I can start my
search? Circuit diagram is available.

Thanks for reading!

Re: TX/RX same band in Satellite mode

 

I am having the same problem now that GREENCUBE is on my RADAR.? Tonight I figured out that I can operate regular, non SAT mode, and go SPLIT.? ?The PstRotator controls the receive doppler and I can manually adjust the TX with the SUB-TUNE.

Hello Spence and Dave,
Yes it's the plastic decal for the Sat control.

I think it’s the stick on plastic decal about the Sat controls.?

Hi, Stuart,

I'm not sure what you are seeking recently.
I acquired an FT-847 and it came with copies of the Operating Manual and Technical Manual. Could you please explain what I should look for?

BTW, the radio has a lot of features and I sure would like to find a YouTube video about basic operating. If you know of one, please share.

FT847 RA0070300 SHEET Satellite label

 

Hello Group,

I am new to this group.

I am trying to track down a FT847 RA0070300 SHEET this is the Satelite label.

I moved QTH some time ago and it came of in transit.

It is only a cosmetic issue but would still like to find one.

The Transceiver functions OK

I have tried some local dealers in VK but no help.

Can somebody please advise where I might find one.

Regards

To add to that, do not attempt to work the satellites until you can hear your own voice coming down from the satellite.

I used to use an ft847 and the sat mode is a special mode designed to be used only when doing qso’s via satellite.? The mode provides automatic frequency tracking to track the satellites as they traverse the sky so you don’t have to do manual tracking.? It made tracking the satellites effortless.? Of course you still had to use satellite tracking software on your computer.? The full duplex meant that you could hear and talk to the satellite at the same time.? Check this out on the net.? There’s lots of information on it.

HI Andy
Needless to put it in SAT if on the same band, at most use VFO A and B and not SAT mode.

?

Is there any option in SAT mode that you would miss in normal mode except full duplex which on the same band without various filters or notches (cavity filters) would be difficult to manage positively?

Re: TX/RX same band in Satellite mode

 

You'd have to run in split mode if you want tx/rx on the same band.

On VHF the cavities are the size of beer barrels! And you would need 4-6 depending on split

Re: RX-only HF mod?

 

Thanks guys, sounds like it might not be worth the trouble. The idea is to use a secondary receiver with the 3000, not instead of it. Why? Might be handy in contests, but mostly just because it’s possible ?

It will probably be easier and safer to just use a dedicated receiver for this.?
Re: RX-only HF mod?

 

I tend to agree here, the FT 847? was never the best for HF, you could change all the pin diodes, you could also fit 10 to 15dB attenuator, this will help on RX, and also help when the Tx is on the 3000.

Most TX/RX change over relays only have 12 to 15dB isolation. You cold also fit some back to back diodes on the RX path

Re: RX-only HF mod?

 

I believe that applying 5 volts to pin 8 of the tuner socket will inhibit TX.

I am at a loss though to understand why you? would want to use the 847 for RX, when the 3000 is arguably better at RX on HF.

Also, if the FT3000 is being used for TX, you will be overloading front of FT847, surely?

Why? not just swap antenna feeds in to 847, and use that, with 3000 turned off? Seems much easier.
