Doesnt look like there is provision for a snap on batt/amp pack on
the rear Paul, Isnt there someone out there who knows of a say 50w
all band/mode linear driven by 1-5 watts for variable output ?

Roger on the receiver!!
That is where the rubber meets the road. (Sorry, tires are in the
news
too
much lately.)
I wish that docking would take place with rigs.? I would have
thought
that
by now, there would be a 2m HT radio that slid into either a front
panel
or
microphone which then is really two radios, portable and mobile.
Put a decent receiver in the module and then a small
exciter/modulator
that
would either excite a 5 W HT brick or a 50 W mobile amp.

After having the Yaesu FT-290MKII/690/790 series of radios I was
somewhat
suprised that the design of the FT-817 was not similar. The
docking mobile
amp and snap on low pwr bat pack is really a cool setup and works
very well
as a mobile/shoulder pack QRP set up. Of course it is similar to
the MK1
series with the internal battery pack and all. Makes me wonder if
there
will later be some snap on pack of C cells or larger and 50-100
mobile
docking amp of some sort. That would be VERY COOL in my book.
Think I'll
sign up and get one of the first ones anyway though!!
