Yaesu Owner’s Manuals
Click Here For Yaesu Owner’s Manuals (yaesu.com)
Yaesu has some of its owner’s manuals available for download in pdf. The link above will take you to a search page where you can enter the model number. When entering the model, you will want to enter the hyphen in the model name. For example, I got 2 results when I entered ft817 as the search criteria, but I got 9 results when I entered ft-817. I also noticed that no results were returned when I tried to find a manual for either the FT-747 or FT-757.

Update September 15, 2008:
It appears that Yaesu only has current models on their website. I found older models at the [Fox Tango Library Website](http://foxtango.ham-radio-op.net/ “Fox Tango Library Website”).

BPL From Central Virginia Electric Coop
The Central Virginia Electric Coop (CVEC) is offering Broadband Over Power Line (BPL) service in parts of Nelson and Amherst counties. I think it’s great that rural areas are getting broadband, but I don’t think BPL is the right way to do it because of the RF interference caused by BPL. I like the nTelos Portable Broadband better, but it isn’t currently available in the same area as CVEC’s BPL.
Broadband Over Powerlines – A Very Bad Idea
ZDNet AnchorDesk: Why broadband over power lines is a bad idea
Broadband Over Powerlines(BPL) is a very bad idea because of the interfernce it will cause to other radio services – amateur, military, shortwave broadcasters, etc. There has to be a better way to get broadband into a user’s home.
