Gentlemen,
just got this e-mail from YAESU UK (so I guess it is relevant to
the rest of Europe),
<< Dear Mr Tuff,
Thank you for your e-mail. I had received the reply from Japan separately
today as well.
The FT-817 is a new product that was originally only planned for the
Japanese domestic market. However as a result of the demand generated
our Corporate HQ is looking at the possibility of making it available in
Europe and the USA.
The decision has not been made yet, but I am hopeful that we will be
able to announce something at the Leicester Show (Big Ham rally in the UK) in
September. >>
Lets keep our fingers crossed!
73's
