A LOOK AT AN ANGLED STAND

FOR THE FT-817

-

When I use my FT-817 in the shack, I've had to be creative in forming piles of stuff to put it on so that I could see the display without slipping a disc in my back. While perusing Ebay, I came across a stand for about $60 + shipping, but I didn't really want to spend that much on it because I use the rig mostly portable....so I passed on it.

-

Not too long after that I ran across a stand that was just a stand, no wires or connectors (which was fine for me), and it was only $16 + shipping! So I bought it and yes, it suits my purpose, as the video below shows.

Yep, that's what you get if you spend a lot of time turning that VFO dial on the Yaesu FT-817. I'll be sprinkling some hints now and then regarding this wonderful all band, all mode QRP rig, but this one required immediate attention!

Fortunately, it only cost $20 + shipping to fix the problem, and the video explains the rest...
