Curious what you use for an antenna at hotel rooms? Many hotel rooms have
windows that don't even open.

Hello,
one thing which was not mentioned here:
As far as my memory serves me well: The FT-817 was not usable with QSK
operation and the relais made noise like an old sewing machine.

I have both the FT- 817nd ( since ten years) and the KX-2 ( since about
two years).
The '817 used to be an unbeatable champion in the QRP rigs class for many
years due to its versatility, all-band (160m -70cm) all mode features. It

But Al, it’s not a bad thing to want Wayne to do an Elecraft quality V/U
capable KX2 or 3, its a compliment!
Many of us that do linear portable satellite work lug a pair of 817s around
that do a commendable job for 15 year old tech, but would be much better and
lighter to have a couple KX2s tha

VHF/UHF SSB rigs are not. Yaesu has the only "ultra portable" radio
with 2m and 70cm SSB/CW/AM.
I would absolutely love a KX2/KX3 style full-duplex VHF/UHF radio.

Al,
I am with you - I have more buttons and features on my new car than I
ever want to learn to use.
In addition, it does "funny things" that I do not want and cannot shut

Agreed for all the reasons you cited, Al. Good VHF/UHF FM rigs are
pretty inexpensive, whether in mobile or talkie format. When I lived in

As consumers, we have been perfectly conditioned to regard more as better. I

A number of customers considering the KX2 have asked us how it compares to the
newly announced Yaesu FT-818. The latter is an updated ‘817, with a bit higher
power output.
In terms of form factor, the ‘818 is essentially unchanged from the ‘817. So
it’s worth asking again: just how “ultra port
