Wow ! You got a great deal.

I was standing at the HRO booth at 9:20 AM on Friday and bought a
MaHa battery pack and LDG tuner...The $669 Price was on the stack of
FT817's. They did proceed to rip down all their price placards while
we were in the throng...Mark at HRO told us that too many other
dealers were shopping around for prices....They then started a policy
to meet or beat any price at Dayton on anything in stock...I guess
that is where they decided to drop the price furthur.

We defeated their systems (AES did the same thing) by using radios
and spreading out.

We also found several dealers with high prices...such as Hamstation
and Michigan Radio.

I bought one, by credit card, from HRO at Dayton on Sunday, sligtly
before noon, for $639.95 plus $41.60 local sales tax. I thought that
was a pretty good price, and HRO is my local dealer, also.

So, now I have one.

BTW, I think the Kenwood HT is likely to be of interest to some people
in this group, partially because it includes wide-band ALL-MODE
reception. Who knows how good it'll be on 20M SSB, but the capability
is there. An FT-817 and the Kenwood might be useable for full-duplex
satellite ops, in a very small package.

still at Dayton, but going home today.

Thanks for all the comments on the ATX. I wrote to Mark at W&S and got

The Drive Abouts!! The 50 watt version might be good for mobile with the

whip?

The highest price I was quoted was $760 USD from Michigan Radio. When
I said I could get one from HRO much cheaper I was told, by a sales
agent at the vendor's booth, that they were "selling old stock, and
not the model with the current factory changes". I checked at the
Yaesu booth and was told that was completely untrue.

Looks like Dayton's Hamvention is not the place for the careless
shopper if they want to save money. 8->>

Re: 3-12V/2000mA AC-to-DC Travel Adapter 273-1675 with 817 ?

Re: Which Performs Better: ATX or MP-1?

[email protected]
 

For "Motel Mobile" operations I try to get as close to the window as
possible. The antenna normally sitting on its tripod.

Some hotels have been impossible with the noise level inherent in the
building. I try to request as high a room as possible with an opening window
or for true bliss a balcony.

I have "heard" that at even QRP levels the FT817 is capable of clearing out a
Marriott using the fire alarm system on 12M.

Hi Mike,

Some US dealers are carrying ATX antennas.

Like PowerPortStore.

I talked with them just the other day and they are unable to get any
right now...seems the ATX folks had a contract with a US company and
have to supply them first. Jo K5HOY

Hi Pres,
Thanks for the info on the wallwart supply.
I did check their Web page and it is not listed up there.
Is the a model number I should know when calling them or can I just ask for a 2 amp,12 volt regulated
wallwart (that is nonswitching).

Brilliant...I think it is a sign of low intelligence when one has
to
resort to name calling. "Such rapier like wit!"

I found out about this radio through Yaesu...Go figure eh! maybe
looking at what interests me is what is important...not the bunch
of
dribble that you have presented. So this is the Yaesu/Kenwood
forum
now eh...What else are you going to post that is not related?

How about some illegal linear amplifiers or ten-tec radios or
maybe
some more car parts.

Also "IF A NEW YAESU WERE "RELEASED" I would expect to see
something
about it here. Not on a KENWOOD site!!! Can you go to a Kenwood
forum and find out info on the FT-817. Probably not because you
would get the same kind of sane dialogue that I am, presenting to
you
here. Use your brain guy!!! Obviously you like to be
flamed...Flame
on roggo!

Go ahead and do what you want obviously you will and it is sad
that
people like you are out there to ruin a great source of
information
for the "YAESU FT-817"
