This is not a lot specific problem (according to Yaesu), and rigs as recent as a year 2001 lot 44 rig has the
problem (A rig produced around the end of 2001).
PLEASE NOTE, CONTRARY TO THE OFFICIAL YAESU FIX SHEET, THIS PROBLEM WILL
AFFECT THE 817 EVEN IF IT IS USING THE INTERNAL BATTERY PACK!!!
The official Yaesu fix is under the filename, 817ground.tif.
73 and good luck!

Incorrect Mic socket pin out in FT- 817 manual
I wanted to link a mini-disk recorder/playback to the FT817 to be able to play back recordings of audio
from users of the local repeater. I had a lot of grief because the "mic" pin and the "+5V" pins are
shown reversed in the manual.
The line-up is: -
FAST GND PTT +5V MIC-GND MIC UP DOWN

The Yaesu FT-817 is an extremely portable HF through UHF all-mode transceiver, capable of operation
on all amateur bands from 160 meters through 70 cm (excluding, unfortunately, 222 MHz.) It is also
considered to be a QRP transceiver - being capable of only 5 watts output maximum. In addition to
transceive operation on these amateur bands, it also is a capable general-coverage receiver providing
continuous coverage on all modes from 100 KHz through 56 MHz, 108 through 154 MHz, and 420
through 470 MHz. It also provides "Wide FM" receive coverage from 76 through 108 MHz.
