Hello Roger,
i use a FT857 and like your experience it works fine
with a PA0DRT Miniwhip antenna on 500KHz and poor on 137KHz. Since i use for
137KHz the G0MRF Preamp (http://g0mrf.com/preamp.htm) receiption
is much, much better on 137KHz and i'm happy so far with
it.
thanks
regards
Marco

August 2009 10:12 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: LF: Re: FT-817 at LF/MF Yes, on 500kHz the FT817 works surprisingly well with the lash-up untuned antenna but clearly matching what antenna I have would help further. On 137 kHz the FT817 RX is unusable and I've been trying with a simple SBL1 up-converter with some post mixer gain. If I'm going to take a more serious interest in 137/500kHz I'll have to work on the antenna and a better receive system, especially on 137kHz. My real interest is 10m but at the moment the LF bands are far more interesting, HI.
