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. Jerry T.
