Used Yaesu FT-817 complete with LDG Z-817 autotuner, FNB-72 internal rechargeable battery, MH-31 microphone, and original VHF/UHF rubber duck antenna. Note that this is not the “ND” model. It’s a nice little QRP rig that has served me well. With a tuned dipole antenna (not included) I’ve been able to reach from St. Louis to Maryland on SSB voice, and all the way to California, New England, and Canada with digital modes. I’ve been heard even further on WSPR (Europe). That’s with the terrible current band conditions and pushing only 5 watts from this rig (on battery power)! The Z-817 tuner is included. I highly recommend you use a tuner with this rig, and this one is already included. Protect your rig with a tuner. A great feature of the FT-817 is its ability to run from internal rechargeable batteries. This one includes the FNB-72 battery pack. With internal batteries, this is an excellent hiking rig. Check out the internet for people using this rig for SOTA operation. It’s light and easy to hike with.
