U20574 Used Yeasu FT-817 HF/6M/VHF/UHF All-Mode 5W QRP Ultra-Compact Transceiver

This pre-owned Yaesu FT-817 portable QRP transceiver is in very good overall condition, showing light superficial scratches around the battery compartment door on the underside from normal field use and battery swaps. All other chassis surfaces, top speaker grille, and front faceplate are clean and well preserved. The compact front LCD illuminates brightly with sharp segment contrast, and the main VFO dial, dual-concentric controls, and rubberized pushbuttons actuate smoothly with firm tactile feedback. On the rear panel, the cast corner guards, SO-239 antenna jack, 13.8V DC power socket, 3.5mm CW key jack, 8-pin mini-DIN DATA jack, and 8-pin mini-DIN ACC port are tight, clean, and in excellent shape. The front BNC antenna port is straight and undamaged. It comes complete with a Yaesu MH-31 dynamic hand microphone, an installed Yaesu FNB-85 Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack (9.6V 1650mAh), a Yaesu NC-72B AC battery wall charger in its factory box, and a padded shoulder carrying strap.

The Yaesu FT-817 is the legendary, ground-breaking all-mode portable QRP transceiver designed for backpacking, field operations, emergency go-kits, and satellite communications. Delivering up to 5 Watts of RF output on external 13.8V DC power (or 2.5W / 5W on battery power), it covers 160 meters through 10 meters HF, 50 MHz (6M), 144 MHz (2M), and 430/440 MHz (70cm) in SSB, CW, AM, FM, and digital modes. The dual antenna system allows operators to assign the front-panel BNC jack or the rear SO-239 jack independently per band for flexible whip or coaxial feedline configurations. Outfitted with built-in electronic keying, dual VFOs, split-frequency operation, receiver clarifier (RIT), IF shift, and an ultra-compact cast aluminum chassis, the FT-817 remains an iconic, go-anywhere standard for portable QRP enthusiasts.
