Re: Recommendations for a replacement battery pack for F-817ND
I don't see a big problem with not using the built in charger. Just one different connection is all. Advancing technology never guarantees compatibility. And in this case yaesu chose to stay behind

I have a 20 year old ft817 with original finals and still works great. I gave up on internal batteries years ago. I use bioenno 3ah or 4.5 ah 12v with a PowerPole adapter on the bottom of the radio.

Re: Recommendations for a replacement battery pack for F-817ND
I have seen number of negative comments on the WindCamp, also cost way too much. I like the Bioenno LiFePO4s, they are excellent.? A 9AHr that will power the FT817 for many hours cost over $100, but

For a budget purchase the tried and true 12 v 7 ah sla is hard to beat at $20 - $25. A 9 pack of 18650 cells will fit nicely in the radio footprint. 3 banks of 3 cells in parallel, each bank in series

Re: Pros and Cons for keeping my FT 817ND
I had a KX3 and sold that, I still have an FT-817ND. The price difference meant I could achieve my next purchase more easily by selling the KX3. My main gripe with the KX3 with the poor speaker
