FT991 multi-mode, 160m-70cm all mode transceiver
3 October 2014 | by The first UK price looks like around £999 from Nevada who expect stocks spring/summer 2015. This is more than I was expecting.

I would consider investing in this transceiver, but would be looking for a better price. The FT450D is currently £699 in the UK (even less at MLS £619.95 according to G1KQH) I wonder if they will spin out an FT817 replacement based on the FT991 design? I am sure there would be a good market for a 5-10W version here in the UK.

GBP 999, that’s almost $1,600 USD. Outrageous.
I am afraid we are ripped off on amateur radio prices in the UK. It is usually the pound for dollar syndrome.Many prices are the same to the nearest penny from many dealers. This is why I often buy from abroad.
