Re: Yaesu FT-818ND Discontinued Manufacturing

I was also thinking of selling my original Ft817 to buy a Ft818. Even HRO is out of stock. I guess I will continue to be happy with my FT-817.?

One is NIB and the other one does 100% duty as a band hopping WSPR station running a half a watt currently. The NIB one was used to get past it's infant mortality and put back in the box. The WSPR rig has been all around the world and never had a lick of trouble with it.... It has been on way more than it has been off in the past 20yrs!? Original finals to boot but never ran it on internal batteries... I went to buy an 818 when I heard the news but R&L was out of stock when they had stock 2 days ago...? :-(
