Re: FT-817 Replacement
The FTX-1 has a mobile mounting bracket? The FY-817/818 didn't...

Re: FT-817 Replacement

Re: FT-817 Replacement
I think it looks like a good little radio and I’m quite excited about it.

Re: FT-817 Replacement
The FT-817/818 was an amazing collection of features and compromises, it's very unlikely it will be repeated any time soon. (As I recall it was a labor of love for one Yaesu Executive, he built the

I had the happen to me and got the small ring left in it by heating up a tip of a small safety pin and poking that into the yellow ring and slowly lifting it out off the power pin.
