I ordered and built a T1 for my 817ND and it works, I think.
Anyone help with the following?
1) when I press the power/tune, I get a red led light and then the
green. Transmitting while green retunes and I get a low SWR on the
transmitter. I didn't see anything in the guide that said I should get a
red led first? What is the proper LED sequence when tuning or switching
bands?
2) Anyone get it working with the 897D? I get proper band switches
when using the 817nd but only occasional switches when using the 897D. Is
there a configuration option for the CAT port on the 897D that needs to be
changed? I tried CAT and TUNER with the same results.
3) Is there a way to bypass the retune on the 817D when switching
bands? When I change bands, I here the relays click on the T1 and then the
green light blinks for about 3 seconds. If I transmit during the blink
then it retunes. Granted, it is unlikely that I will change bands and
immediately transmit.
Thanks, it is great to have an elecraft product again. I sold my K2 last
year and purchased an 897D that I just added to two 10lb batteries to but I
miss the K2.
