    6m Larcan Conversion

    i will be performing that mod on my 847, seems very straight forward, also just because you see a short at DC does not mean it is a short at 50mhz, which im sure you were already aware of, studying the board may show why you see that.

    Hahah that would be nice, also about the ft847 internal power adjustment, i had heard rumors about a spike that the 847 sends out the moment it is put into tx, that the harris amps would go into standby from, even at its lowest power level, i did not think of the internal power adjustment...
