I have been awaiting the arrival of the FT817 for years. I have enjoyed
the triplets(209/690/790) for years. I am in the US merchant navy and do
extensive travelling each year. For me the 817 will me my shortwave
radio, my HF/vhf when I visit my relatives in France, and a all together
tote along radio for all uses.
I do enjoy qrp a lot but for the ones among us who do not I have found a
company CCI which advertise in all major mags, and sell HF/VHF amps all
made with Motorola transistors. Be advise that after seeing their
brochure , the only thing you receive is the board loaded. Connectors,
enclosure etc is your doing.
