Re: FT-817 Replacement
I hope that it provides a transmitter-inhibit input pin, and band data.? It will be a great radio for my VHF/UHF/SHF Rover station.
Too bad it does not have 222 MHz.? :-(

Re: FT-817 Replacement
The 817 was $670 at its introduction in 2001, that's around $1200 today (https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/2001?amount=670). About the price of a midrange gaming computer.

Re: FT-817 Replacement
It's an SDR radio, neither the 991a nor the 891 are SDRs, so not the same technology.

Re: FT-817 Replacement
Good to know if it's the same technology as it's predecessors (891, 991).
Maybe just an external package upgrade and a colour display!?!?

Re: FT-817 Replacement
I’m going to go out on a limb and say it looks like it is built in the FTM-500DR chassis and will be dimensionally identical.

Re: FT-817 Replacement

It's a 5 minute video of a man reading a web page describing a product he's never seen...
