Folks..
Just ordered my FT817 from HRO Sunnyvale (from
Ken, K1ZKM, great guy).
Funny thing is, orders taken at Pacificon (no
matter which HRO employee took the order) are
routed to the Oakland, CA store - prob. some kinda
sales-zone rule imposed by Yaesu - so there
is apparently a big waitlist forming at HRO/
Oakland. But the Sunnyvale store only has 2 or
so people on its 817 waitlist, at least for now
[one of them being me!] so call HRO Sunnyvale
(California) directly. Ken seems to be handling
all the 817 stuff, it appears.
Alas, the Pacificon promotional discount price is
no more; I paid $769+tax, IIRC.
I can't wait. This is gonna be *COOL*.
Just wondering: is there a DTMF/keyboard mike
that'll work with the '817? It'd be kinda nice
for 2m/440 repeater stuff.
