Got Main Unit, PA Unit. 
Put them in the FT-817 shell. Rewirering was very easy. First power-up let the display blink in 1sec. interval, no audio (ex. 160m). Current as usual... 
 [F] & [V/M] & power on - sequence on #1 start... frustrating...
Today a FT818 Display Unit comes in. Will replace the FT817 Display Unit by this and hope....
cheer for now - Ray, DL1EGR

Hi

Just a thought, the calibration data is contained in the control head and so by changing the main board this may now be invalid, might be worth going through the calibration process..





 

hi folks
got a new
Panel Unit - ETCS2518403
Main Unit - CP6778033
PA Unit - CB1152002
it works!
Ok, I try out short wave first and FM radio - 2m and 70cm should work also...
I still have to install the final unit. This is not difficult. Alignment will be according to the service manual.
In sum: it is a brand new FT-81* in an old frame *big smile*
cheers for now - Ray, DL1EGR


 

Excellent news, well done, life in the old rig yet.
