Kudos for this video. Every time I have to think of programming anything on the portable transceivers gives me anxiety. This video helped prove that anxieties are now the thing of the past (at least for Yaesu radios that is). Thanks!
Unfortunately your video came a few years after I got my radio, it would have helped a lot back then! Still giving you a like so other newbies can see it popping out from the suggested videos.
Many thanks for the video. I've had my 817 since just after they came out but it gets put aside for a while and my memory fails me. Nice clear instructions :)
Just got this radio but when I try to make an offset, nothing happens. The a button works but it isn't letting me make an offset when I hit it on RPT. Any suggestions?
Mike, saw the 430Mhz , does it go beyond to cover the 446 Freqs also Does it just to the 6watts out, if so can it be hooked up to a Amp ? Im not licenced yet ,working on it find your Vids very easy to follow 👍
Thank you, I do appreciate the kind words. The 817 and 817ND only does 5w but as you mentioned the 6w that’s the newer one, the 818 that does 6w output. I think they struggle to push 5w on the standard battery at best, but most certainly when run from an external power source. The 817 does cover 446 yes, and again yes you can run an amplifier with it. Cheers and beers, stay safe 73’
Mike, once the repeater shift is set to what you need (for GB3WO here) and stored in a memory slot, if later one the repeater shift was changed, say for a 2m shift etc etc I presume the memory channel still holds the 7.6 shift you set it for on that memory channel?
Hi just wanted to ask about CB. On the Furlough scheme and can not do any more gardening so thought about CB. I use Zello but fancy the old way but am not an licenced amature. So my question is in Sussex near Eastbourne is there much activity.
Great, how do you program for frequency readout on memory channels instead of reading the channel number twice M-003 and CH-003, this setting in kinda dumb
You can simply change the memory ‘tag’ to show frequency read out in settings. Press function ‘F’ and rotate the select knob until you see ‘MW, MC and TAG’ on the bottom row. Just press TAG to change from memory channel readout to frequency readout.

I know you made this 3 years ago Mike but I'm sure I am not the only one who finds it really useful. Thanks.
Most appreciated! Thank you.
such a great help... you get a heap of views considering how many times I had to watch this to get it right!!!!
Excellent video and perfectly explained, thanks for putting that together.
Cheers.
Thank you for the kind words, most appreciated indeed. 73’

Thanks for the info. Just got a used 817 and want to try portable QRP. This will get me going on putting a few memories in place.

Very useful Mike thanks for doing this 73
Thanks Tim! just thought it would be of some use to new 817/818 users :) 73' mate.
Thank you I am now ready to move forward- extreme newb here -subscribed!
Welcome and thank you for the sub, it’s very much appreciated.
Thanks Mike! Good vid! 73
excellent helped a lot for programming 73's
Glad it was of some help. Thank you and stay safe 73’
Excelente !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 muchas gracias
Fab radio, great video Mike .. Wont ever part with my 817 ;) - 73
neither will I mate haha. Windcamp battery and the Wonderwand widebander antenna system I wouldn't part with any of the kit :)
Same here apart from the windcamp 👍dont use it enough to warrant that batt pack 😁
Thanks. I will try to follow those instructions to programme in my local repeaters. The manual doe the FT818ND doesnt make it so straightforward!!
👍👍👍
Again your video is a fantastic help. Thanks much. Kc3pzc 73
Thank you Andrew, very much appreciated indeed. 73’ and stay safe.
Great vid. But I have had a stroke and it's really hard for me. I haven't program one thing yet. Its so bloody hard for me. But great vid.
Excellent thank you nice and slow

Yes you’d have to program it again.

I think there is but more activity around Brighton towards Worthing.

Thanks for you hard work, great job, the manual is not that easy to follow. Cheers
Thank you Paul, I do very much appreciate the feedback. 73’ and stay safe.
How to manually set narrow FM mode (NFM)?
I don’t have this radio anymore but I’m sure someone in the comments will be able to help.
