HIGH-PERFORMANCE COLLINS
MECHANICAL FILTER OPTIONS!
An optional filter slot is provided in the FT-817,
allowing the owner to install one of two available
R
ten-pole Collins Mechanical Filters. For CW
operation, choose the YF-122C (500 Hz bandwidth),
or for very natural-
sounding SSB select
the YF-122S (2.3
kHz bandwidth).
EASY TUNING VIA MAIN DIAL AND
"SELECT" KNOB!
The power of microprocessor control brings you
mode-selectable tuning steps as fine as 10 Hz for
the Main Dial (SSB/CW), and quick-tuning steps
of 1/2.5/5 kHz using the SELECT knob. Via Menu,
you can disable the Main Dial on AM and FM, for
even-frequency navigation, or the Main Dial may
be activated for tuning in 100 Hz steps. Pressing
the microphone's [FST] key doubles the SELECT
knob tuning rate, and multiplies the Main Dial's
tuning rate by a factor of 10. And if you press the
SELECT knob first, you can fly across the band
in 1 MHz steps!
MULTI-FUNCTION CONTROL KEYS
FOR EASY FEATURE ACCESS!
For quick and efficient access to the many high-
performance features of the FT-817, the SELECT
knob teams up with the [A] [B] [C] keys to provide
a "miniature front panel"for ease of operation.
There also is a convenient "Menu"mode, providing
customization of a number of "set and forget"
operating functions.

WIDE RECEIVER FREQUENCY COVERAGE!
Enjoy shortwave and FM broadcasts, public safety
communications, and airband calls thanks to the
extended frequency coverage of the FT-817, which
includes reception on 100 kHz 〜 56 MHz, 76 〜
108 MHz (W-FM only), 108 〜154 MHz, and 420
〜470 MHz!
TWO ANTENNA CONNECTORS FOR EASE
OF INSTALLATION AND OPERATION!
The front panel includes a convenient BNC connector
for attachment of a whip or VHF/UHF rubber flex
antenna (supplied). The rear panel includes a type
"M"("SO-239") connector. As shipped from
the factory, the BNC jack is active on 50/144/430
R
MHz, while the "M" connector is active on HF.
The Menu system allows you to define which
connector will be selected for HF, 50 MHz, 144 MHz,
and 430 MHz, so if your VHF Yagi 's feedline uses
a PL-259 connector, just use the Menu to select
the "Rear" connector on 144 MHz!
VERSATILE, EASY-TO-SEE LIQUID
A wealth of information is available on the front panel:
● When you have to be away from the radio for a
few minutes, but would like a visual indication of
activity while you're away, activate the Spectrum
Scope Monitor. The Spectrum
Scope Monitor allows you
to watch activity ±5 channels
from the current operating
frequency.
● The LCD illumination color may be set to either
Blue or Amber color, using the Menu.

Watch for low battery
trouble using the Battery

● For ease of viewing while outdoors, you can
double the size of the frequency display.

LEADING-EDGE FEATURES THAT GET
YOUR MESSAGE ACROSS!
UNMATCHED VERSATILITY IN
MEMORY OPERATIONS!
Despite its compact size, the FT-817 sports an
impressive array of Memory features. You get 200
"regular"memories which store frequency and mode
information, and each memory may have an 8-character
Alpha-Numeric "Tag"(label) appended for quick
channel identification. What's more you get four
HOME Channels (one each for HF/50/144/430), a pair of
Band-Limit"PMS" memories (M-PL/M-PU), a one-touch
"Quick Memory"channel for a favorite operating
frequency, and (for U.S. customers) access to the
"Alaska Emergency Channel" (5167.5 kHz), for a
grand Memory Channel total of 208 channels! Ten
Memory Groups are available (holding up to 20
channels each), allowing you to organize the 200
Memory Channels efficiently.
RENOWNED YAESU SCANNING VERSATILITY!
●
VFO Scan: Allows you to scan the band, looking
for activity. If a signal is heard, the scanner will
pause, resuming according to the preferred method
you set via Menu.
●
Memory Scan: Scan all the memories, or just those
in a Memory Group. You can also define certain
channels (such as beacons) to be"skipped"during
scanning, if you like.
● Programmable Memory Scan (PMS): A special
pair of memories may be used to set up band
scanning limits (so as to limit 144 MHz scanning
to the "FM" portion of the band, for example).
● Dual Watch: Lets you operate on one VFO, while
checking the other VFO every five seconds, looking
for activity.
●
Priority Channel: lets you operate on a Memory
Channel while checking Memory Channel 001 every
five seconds.
● Smart Search: Provides automatic loading of
up to 50 AM/FM frequencies, based on an activity
search of the current band. Perfect when visiting
a new city on a business trip!
CTCSS/DCS ESSENTIAL OPERATING FEATURES
●
50 CTCSS Tones are available for use in either
an Encode-only or Encode-Decode mode, along
with 104 DCS Encode/Decode control codes. CTCSS
and DCS information may be stored independently
on each Memory Channel. If you don't know the
other stations tone or digital code, use the handy
Tone Search or Code Search features to track
down the tone or code automatically!
● For Search-and-Rescue operations, the Auto-
Range Transponder System (ARTS
FM DCS code system in a polling mode, allowing
the base and portable station to know when an
"out of range" condition exists. The portable station
then knows to move to a better location in order
to re-establish communications.
PACKET AND SSB-BASED DIGITAL MODES:
READY FOR ACTION:
●
For 1200 or 9600 bps VHF/UHF Packet work, a
convenient industry-standard mini-DIN connector
is provided, making interfacing quick and efficient.
Easy connections are also provided for SSB-based
Digital modes, and the Menu includes custom setups
for RTTY, PSK31 (USB and LSB both supported),
and two user-defined modes
(for SSTV, etc.). The optional
500 Hz CW filter may be
utilized during narrow-band
Digital operation.
