Hmmm - shame - since I'd like both - ok so the FT-817 doesn't have the ATU and so the KX3 with a 2m option and external ATU is about the same, but with obviously better HF than the 817.
But I was hoping for a killer rig with an ATU and now the 70cm on the 817 might just swing it away from the KX3. I assume we could drive an XV144 from the KX3, and I'd guess the XV144 would be a better transverter? 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174, P3 #108, KX3 #??? -- A child, like your stomach, doesn't need all you can afford to give it. -Frank A.
