Re: Yaesu FT-818ND Discontinued Manufacturing
Now that inrad seems to be out of stock of pcbs things are slightly more
complicated, but there seems to be at least one OM who still can provide of
those.

My Ft-8!^ND
I just thought this may be worth posting.
My 817 is over 10 years old. I have made many contacts with it to Europe and
South and Central America.
I haven't used the radio in quite some time,

Re: Yaesu FT-818ND Discontinued Manufacturing
I'll never part with my FT817's.
But I agree it's time to move on a bit for Yaesu.
As one other poster has mentioned, having PCB space for non existance CW filters is dreadful.
And why the heck

Re: Yaesu FT-818ND Discontinued Manufacturing
Yaesu has had a year+ to observe sales of the IC-705. I'm guessing Yaesu already has designed something similar but they're waiting on economic conditions and supply chain improvements before going

Re: Yaesu FT-818ND Discontinued Manufacturing
You're talking about a QRP version of the FT-991A, that seems unlikely, and full-duplex would add significantly to the cost of the unit while only benefitting a small portion of the potential market.

Except for the additional power usage when the antenna relay is energized! LOL

Hi,

Re: Yaesu FT-818ND Discontinued Manufacturing
I'm sad to see the 818 go, but if you can't get parts there's not much choice.? I really like my 817, but it is a 20 year old design.
I have to believe that Yaesu saw this coming for a while.?

Hi Larry,
Thanks for the info.
In the UK I think they may be called panel beaters.

Re: Thinking of selling my Yaesu FT817
The dent on the edge of the BNC is a easy fix... I think you call them Tin Knockers
but here in the USA that's simple work for a Machinist or Tool and Die maker. and one that works in metals.

Re: Yaesu FT-818ND Discontinued Manufacturing
Funny thing is, all this QRP HF stuff aside, my 817 is still the best 2m
rig in my collection of HTs. I shall miss it for it¡¯s versatility.
The 817 is also the best 6m HT I have ever come

Re: Yaesu FT-818ND Discontinued Manufacturing
We're both speculating, so neither is right or wrong, but I think your comment had a typo - is "20 years old technology" really "more expensive than updated technology"?
To support my own argument,

Re: Yaesu FT-818ND Discontinued Manufacturing
Doubtful, I suspect Yaesu may prefer a different tack than rehashing a 20+ year-old design.
As I recall, many 'in the community' were upset that Yaesu didn't do a redesign when they released the
