Of acquiring a Yaesu FT - 817, does anyone have any experience or know of anyone who has one of these radio's that can give me a bit of a gen up?
I would like to use this radio if I get one when going out on walkies with doggies and kid's. Hubby is disabled and can't walk far without being in constant pain. He had an op a few years ago to remove disc's n mashed bone in his spine and unfortunately the op didn't do much to improve the pain situation so he can't face walking distances. Thought it would be an excellent idea to have a radio like this as I am quite interested perhaps in the future of joining in with the SOTA (Summits On The Air) enthusiasts as well as being able to keep in contact with hubby at home if I am not too far away.

Not to worry Renae, I think I have already made my mind up in favour of getting one. One of the Full Licence Members at the Radio Club who gave the talk on SOTA swears by these Radio's and highly recommends them.. Just wondered if any of the members here had any experience with them. Thanks Though:)
