I have an 817 has my only rig.I can not say enough about it it's probably the best thing that ever happened to me(besides my wife) Alot of technology in a little package.I use CW only has it's the best mode for QRP.Do I wish I still had a 100watt rig?Yes Sometimes! when the bands are bad.But when you log a new state or country (yes country) all the frusration is worth it. |
