Yaesu FT-817ND Series Tuning Fix Episode
One of the best and most versatile 5w QRP transceivers, the FT817 has been around for about 20 years but I've only just discovered it. I think it's brilliant and I want to share with you what I've found out about setting up and using the FT-817ND. In this video I show how I fixed a major (but simple) problem when it wouldn't tune and the Main Dial was stuck on one frequency.

Great video glad you managed to sort and bring some life back in the 817. Motters M7TRS 73 👍🏽
Thanks for this video and the series, Mortimer. They have all been very useful to me as another returner to the hobby. Like you, I'm amazed at how many features are packed into this little radio. I will be very interested to see it's replacement when announced.

Thank you for your very kind words. I have looked at some of your videos too - please make some more, they are very interesting! Best wishes from Mort / G4BSK
It appears you can fix it! Thanks for the great how to video. I will bookmark this one for future reference if I ever need it. Enjoy your bike upgrade!
Enjoyed watching love my 817
Really educational video, thank you for sharing......
Looks like a simple replacement, great video for those so inclined...I have a 22yr old 817 that has a million miles on it and never had a single failure with it. It has been on 24/7 serving as a band hopping WSPR station for the last 3 years. Did that Socket set belong to the XYL being pink and all??? :-)) 73
tks for this... btw, those 'cranker' vfo knobs are not good for the encoder... JMHO, YMMV... 73
Great stuff, nice and easy fix 👍 how is the little li-ion battery standing up?
