Well, a correction is in order. I thought I was asked the total sold, not
just in the US but worldwide. And I heard 8,000 from Barry, W4WB who heard
that directly from Yaesu.
Since there are over 1200 members here, and over 400 on the other ( dash )
list, to think that about 1500 people are here on Yahoogroups makes 8000
rigs seem reasonable.
Heck, this may be Yaesu's most successful launch ever but that is a guess

Guys, I just found out something absolutely amazing to me. Press
Waterman
runs the FT817 list, and I asked him how many FT817's had been sold in
the
US. He came back with an answer that absolutely astounded me. 8000!!
No,
that is not 800, but 8000 as in 8K.
Pretty amazing stuff....
