Hi all, Maybe the FT-818 will be released at Dayton this year? Or is this fake news? FCC testing: https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=t5blC6hGG2ySHrjBO807Kg%3D%3D&fcc_id=K6603770X30 It’s apparently thought to be a successor to the Yaesu FT-817: https://rigreference.com/rigs/6364-yaesu-ft-818 Joe Burke - WA8OGS

Joe, the FCC does not post fake reports. However just because it is certified does not mean it will ever be released to the market. I did not look at the FCC page, but it will include manuals, pictures, etc. That is unless Yaesu asked it be restricted for a short period of time. From the FCC data one should be able to guess what the intent is.

Evidently people have been talking about the FT-818 for several years. I can't think of a whole lot to improve on the FT-817 except perhaps a way to mount it. The FT-817 is lacking in that area unless you use a lot of Velcro or buy an expensive kit. 73, Zack W9SZ On Fri, Feb 16, 2018 at 1:49 PM, Jim Bacher via mvus-list < mvus-list@febo.com> wrote: > Joe, the FCC does not post fake reports.
