Since I have a Xiegu G90 for 2 years, I have not used my 817.
As a 5-10W trx, I even prefer my homebuilt mcHF trx to the 817.

With the aivailbility of LiFepo4 batteries, I would even consider a 100W radio for portaple ops.
The Yaesu FT-710 looks promising and is probably in the same price bracket as the? FTX-1F.
