GET THE FT-100D!!! I had the 817, great rig, but frustrating at only 2.5 or
5 watts. i sold mine, got the ft-100d and can talk to anyone i hear. from
my van with it at 50 watts and a pro-am 20-mtr whip i've talked to Russia,
etc. The ft-100d is my choice. and u can easily set it anywhere from 0-100
watts, and have different power settings on hf, vhf, uhf. i have my vhf set
at 20 watts, since i am close to my local repeater. get the ft-100D. it's
not that much bigger than the 817, maybe an inch thicker. u'll love it.
