One Response to “Amateur Radio Weekly – Issue 194”

  • Ron Wright, N9EE:

    The replacement for the FT817, the FT818 is probably bogus. Nothing new in the FT818 so if the FT818 is coming there would surely be more to it than just an expansion of the freq range.

    This ad seems bogus, nothing new over the FT817. But we can hope.
