In my experience of hearing tales of woe (not personal experience) damage to the FT 817 was caused by trying to use a tuner to an unknown antenna for too long of a time. ?High SWR seems to be the culprit and caused a lot of failures back in the day. ?Yaesu did some protection in the ND model. ?Mine sits there hoping I will use it again someday. It is a fun radio in spite of the many layers of button presses and small difficult to read screen. ?I sent mine to W4RT back in the day and had all the upgrades. ?What a machine when it was all one could buy in a small package covering all bands. ?
