At The Last Local? "Flea Market" I Noticed? TWO FT-817's one a ND and one a original? For Sale,? One? Full "Kit" on the "original" included all of the standard Items items even the whips, battery no filters and the asking price was $175, the second one a -ND only had the microphone and Battery, no filter, the owner indicated that he pulled the Collins filter and Sold it on the "Bay" he wanted $150 for he radio since he got $150 for the Filter. At the End of the Show I Offered $110 for the "Original" FT-817 and he accepted, I Now Have (3) FT-817's One "Original" with a SSB Filter, a -ND with a CW Filter and now the Original with No Filter but they ALL have all of the "Accessorizes"even the "plastic" carry sleeves.
Need to get a SCAF Filter and that will be enough for this One as it will be the "Patio" Radio,The "Original" is Easily Wide Banded via Software then Opening up the -ND to Solder.? ? ? ?
--? BTW The -ND was Holding out at $150.
Best Regards.
