Working with old stuff sometimes forces you to make a few mods but often new equipment can be better then before.

Modifications for  FT-817/817ND/818 / Z817

• LDG Z817 BNC mod because I like to work with BNC connectors on QRP
• FT-817 speaker replacement. The internal speaker from the FT-817 can be a hole lot better then the factory fitted.
• FT-817 PowerPole. A 3D printed adapter to use Anderson Power Pole connectors on directly on a FT817(ND)
• FT-817/818 Protector A 3D printed set of protector rails and tilt feet for the FT817/818.
• FT-817/818 cover A 3D printed cover for your FT817/818 when traveling around or going outdoor. It looks cool in the shack also. 

Modifications for Kenwood TS-700G 

• Kenwood TS-700G CTCSS because most of the dutch repeaters have CTCSS now.

Modifications for Yaesu FT-221R

• Yaesu FT-221R Mode switch puls mod to safe you're preamp when switching modes
• Yaesu FT-221R CTCSS mod because most of the dutch repeaters have CTCSS now.
• Yaesu FT-221R variable output because less is more

Modifications for Yaesu FRG-7 

• Yaesu FRG-7 mods adding some nice features to "The Frog"

Modifications for retrofitting 

• PowerPole retro fit so you can use PowerPoles on all you stuff.

Modifications for Elecraft K2

• K2 USB interface, a USB interface with a FTDI adapter to connect you K2 to your computer over USB (incl 3D printed parts)
• K2 BPF aligment with a NanoVNA, using a NanoVNA you can allign the BPF in your K2. 
• K2 won't shut up, on my K2 I couldn't turn down the volume to 0, so I started to dig around why and found it.
• K2 digimodule, I want to use my K2 also with digital modes and for that I needed a inteface which wanted to build into my K2.
• K2 IF adapter, I wanted the qrpproject.de K2 ZF adapter for my Elecraft K2, but unfortunately they stopped at the end of 2022. So I build my own Through Hole version.
