Hi all Well, I keep forgetting to post on my blog! Lots of things I forgot to post about. I've nearly finished the ft817nd, I wasn't going to start modding it but I got got the cranker handle for my birthday and that was the beginning. I fitted the Inrad #720 2.0khz roofing filter today, I had to move the Bhi DSP unit I fitted the other week to make space, WOW its tight in there! The Inrad made in instant improvement on the receive and combined with the Bhi DSP I ended up spending quite a bit of the afternoon enjoying hearing some great DX. The TX audio is improved as well, tests into a dummy load and listening on the IC-7400 showed an improvement in clarity and punch so i'm very pleased. Next is probably going to be the one big punch mod for the microphone or something similar. Did I tell you guys I bought an FT101zd Mk1? I'll tell you more in the next update All the best. Mark |
