Hmmm - shame - since I'd like both - ok so the FT-817 doesn't have the ATU and so the KX3 with a 2m option and external ATU is about the same, but with obviously better HF than the 817.
But I was hoping for a killer rig with an ATU and now the 70cm on the 817 might just swing it away from the KX3.
I assume we could drive an XV144 from the KX3, and I'd guess the XV144 would be a better transverter?
73 de M0XDF, K3 #174, P3 #108, KX3 #???
