  • I bought a Japanese version of the Yaesu FT-818 QRP HF Ham Radio from eBay last month - let's unbox it on today's livestream and compare it to the US model.

    I am loving my 818, I have the polish board for the CW filter coming, an will do the MARS mod while I have it opened for that install. If I find a CW filter in it, I will have one for sale. Probably the one in it as the originals go for over twice the cost of the current supply systems solution. I did 10M QRP to South Dakota from here in So OR with the CB whip on my jeep, and the sound quality of the TX was amazing. I am just getting up to speed with it.

    Sounds like the same coverage as the UK version. A brilliant little rig!

    Rather operate on the beach, VK3YE does that from the beach in Australia to the USA with a FT-817ND.

    Sorry for being off topic with the 818 mars cap mods ,but the ICOM 7100 is easily modified for both open frequency ranges and xmitting output to well over 100 Watts .

    As I understand it,the information in the uk was,production of the 7100 was stopped due to the chip shortage and there was a big outcry,so when they got the chips they restarted production 😊

    There's a software od called softjump maybe that might help with the mod.

    Got it man it's a great little radio the only thing I don't like about it that the g 90 has built-in tuner 😭

    Also, have you thought about a separate drawing for the 7300 and another for the 9700?

    I bought my FT-818 right before Yaesu announced that they were going to discontinue that model, and I keep it in my bug out bag. 73 KD5YOU
