Apparently the bulk of the difference from the 817 to the 818 is: - Display being sourced from a different vendor due to the existing display being obsolete and no longer manufactured. - Same thing for the final. Oh, and the new one is set for 6 watts instead of 5. - TCXO included rather than being sold separately. - Slightly higher battery capacity. From what I've seen so far it is the same radio introduced 17 years ago. How hard is it for Yaesu to get a clue after seeing what Elecraft has done with modern technology ? I was hoping it was April 1st today but it isn't... |
