I have had this FT-817 for a number of years – hardly ever used. It has the battery pack, as well as an LDG-QRP antenna tuner which consumes no power except when actually tuning. This is a NON-DSP model. I am selling this unit since it gets no usage from me. All applicable accessories (except the box), including the :

  • microphone,
  • Battery pack (for dry-cells)
  • Yaesu flexible antennas for the front connector (2m/440/6m),
    included EXTRAS :
  • Miracle Whip antenna, ($75 value)
  • Heil Traveler Headset (single-sided) ($85 value)
  • Nifty Quick Reference manual ($20+ value)
  • LDG Z11 Tuner ($150+ value)

..
If you’re in the market for an excellent HF-UHF, all mode QRP rig (5-watts), then this is the one for you. Cosmetically and functionally perfect. This radio is the industry standard for a backpacking all-band, all-mode radio.

Pictures below – asking $600 for the whole package (Radio, Tuner, MiracleWhip and misc accessories). Already converted to PowerPole connectors. Guaranteed working and to full manufacturer’s spec. Reply off-list to WB6RTH@ARRL.NET

the latest eBay auction has 42 offers for this radio at over $690 (with similar operational accessories), but I’d rather offer this to a local ham who is looking to upgrade (new general..??!!).
