Not a chance!? ?:-) -Larry W7DGP

I use my FT-817ND mostly as an IF rig for VHF and microwave operation. I use it directly on 50, 144 and 432 MHz CW/SSB; as a 28 MHz IF for 222; as a 144 MHz IF for 902, 1296, 2304, 3456, 5760, 10368

So Andrew, the commentary thus far has been from those who only activate on HF or maybe FM with their 2m HTs. Without a very expensive optional transverter the Elecraft radios don’t do 2m (and

I feel like a yo-yo. I agree with one suggesting I sell and then another suggesting I should not get rid of my old friend. What I like about these older rigs is, to a degree, my familiarity with how

Hi Larry, Glad to hear your 817s also had their original finals! Well I think all of us have regrets about selling equipment, in my case, a yaesu FRG7 in original box, the best analogue receiver ever,

The 817 is still the best 2m and 70cm rig I own. If only for that, I would keep it. Batteries are a pain, but actually easier than most of my other HT which are more manufacture specific. It can be

I've had two FT-817s for many years. I bought them when they first came out. I installed mech filters (500 Hz) in both and operated mostly CW. I carried at least one on business trips around the world

Hi Andrew. I share your inability to part with old friends. My 20 year old FT817 was retired for a while but later very happily repurposed as half of a pair of 817s for satellite work. And my KX3 has

Well said John, the 817/818 is a lifesaver, built like a tank, the finals are cheap and easily replaced, but I suspect that if the operator removes the battery pack when not in use, and uses a

Thanks Chip. The key takeaway I found interesting from your comments was the one saying: I can’t see what operating capabilities you would lose sellin’ the 817.And your right about 2 meters in the

Great question. Bottom line…sell 817. KX2 and KX3 SOTA activators in western NC more often have KX 2/3 radios on activations and you already have a KX3 - few 817’s used on SOTA.?With your 891 and

Do you know the connector manufacturer and part numbers for the 3 and four pin connectors? -- Oz (in DFW) N1OZ

Good morning, I’m on my 2nd Ft-817nd. I found it to be the most versatile radio for the types of operating I enjoy. It’s not my only rig. But, it gets the most use. There are compromises any way

Its a keeper unless you need to sell it to buy life saving medicine. Small display will not get damaged like the big display on 705 Easy to slide into backpack facing up or use shoulder strap I have

This item has sold. Thank You

Thanks Ken. The screen is of some concern since I turn 75 this month but hopefully my new glasses will help. I did get the FT 891 to use mobile..but haven't installed it yet. The 7200 is my primary HF

Thanks Ron. I have the 7200 set up as my primary HF rig and an IC2300h for VHF. My backup rig is the Ic 706 mk2g. The 706 doesn't have the extensive filtering of the 7200 but I do have a 1.9khz SSB

Thanks for your comments Rick. I do like the sturdiness of the 817. I have everything in a backpack so I can easily take it with me. The kx3 requires more TLC. I have it in a nanuk case, as well as a
