I think everyone needs to calm down a bit.
If Yaesu is monitoring this group, and it's a pretty sure thing that they
are, I would not blame them to ratchet up the price a couple hundred
dollars. That's just based on the enthusiastic response to the FT-817
before it's even legally acceptable to be sold in the US.
You know, I want one too. But sheeze, I have a feeling that when some of
you folks get yours delivered, you are going to get a room with it. I
mean, I haven't heard this much excitement since Michael Jackson thought
he got booked at Boy's Town.
So settle down. We'll end up getting Yaesu to rush the 817 to market and
then all us early adapters will end up shipping them off to Ceritoes for
mods and patches like the FT-100.
