Replacement speaker for FT817nd.
After the original speaker in my FT817nd recently failed I was very pleased to see that Sotabeams had released a Mylar cone speaker to suit the'817. I have had previous experience with Mylar cone speakers in my working life. I ordered 1 & received it quite quickly. The replacement process was quick & painless as the speaker was a perfect fit. When I switched the radio on I was rewarded with much better audio & again I am satisfied with my Sotabeams deal. Les, VK5KLV.

Speaker for ft-817
Easy to fit. Better sound than the original, but you must reuse the rubbber edge seal and magnet surround of the original.

Great upgrade
Clear improvement in sound quality and output. Also less susceptible to damage by e.g. moisture. Very pleased.

Didn't buy from here but....
Ok, so I sourced my speaker 6 months ago, direct from a German Model Railway re-seller after reading VK3BQ's how-to guide. I do buy regular 817 lines Sotabeams for the record.
The speaker is a great upgrade, audio is noticeable better, even with my rubbish hearing. The quality is good, size is like for like with the stock yeasu speaker.
Plus factor is the Mylar construction, it means less worries over damp conditions finding its way into paper speaker cones.
Really worth the effort and expense!!
