It's the Best with Yaesu's FT-817!

The world's first self-contained, battery-powered, Multimode Portable Transceiver covering the HF, VHF, and UHF bands!

For more than four decades, Yaesu has been a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance multimode base station and mobile transceivers, as well as FM hand-helds. Now Yaesu breaks new ground with the introduction of the FT-817: the world's

first HF/VHF/UHF self-contained battery-powered Multimode Portable Transceiver. FIELD Providing up to five watts of power output, the FT-817 is designed for operation on the

160-10 meter HF bands, plus the 6 meter, 2 meter, and 70 cm bands. Whether your preferred operating mode is SSB, CW, AM, FM, Packet, or SSB-based Digital modes like PSK31, the FT-817 is ready to join you on your next hiking,

camping, or search-and-rescue adventure!

CAMPING

Compact design yields up to 5 Watts, and versatile selection of power sources provides DX adventure at home or away!

Despite its incredibly small size (5.3"x 1.5"x 6.5" WHD) and light weight (under 2 pounds), the FT-817 delivers big performance! Its next-generation all band power amplifier utilizes push-pull 2SK2975 MOS FETs to provide 5 Watts of power (AM: 1.5W carrier) on the 160-2 meter bands, plus 70 cm (13.8V DC input). You can choose from four power levels, too: 5/2.5/1/ 0.5 W). Ready to operate from 8 "AA" alkaline cells, the FT-817 may also be powered from an external 13.8 Volt DC source, or from the optional FNB-72 Ni-Cd Battery Pack. When using the FNB-72, the FT-817 automatically sets itself to a power level of 2.5 Watts, to conserve power, but you can easily switch to the 5-Watt level, if you like.
