Can anybody suggest a HF manpack set with low power consumption
Hi,
I'm trying to find a set that has a low standby current.The Yaesu FT817 seems to fit the bill but the standby current seems to let it down sadly (250mA squelched and 450mA on receive).I have a 2 meter handheld with all the bells and whistles (fm admittedly) which draws 10mA squelched.I would appreciate any comments and suggestions. - Steve |

Your Ht has far less circuitry, probably has a power save feature, and many other limitations that the FT817 does not have. The FT817 is a full featured HF radio. For a good assessment of the FT817 current draw, and some ways to lessen it, go to: http://www.ka7oei.com/ft817_pwr.html Ed K7AAT |
