## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it have antenna tuner**
A: No this unit does not have an antenna tuner.

**Q: Is this waterproof?**
A: No it is not . I put caps over the antenna connectors ( 2 - SO239&BNC ) but that is not waterproofing. It’s not sealed in anyway. Sorry - you may have to look at marine transceivers if that feature is needed .

**Q: what antenna included?**
A: Comes with a basic antenna for 6m, 2m, and 70cm. You will want to provide your own antennas.

**Q: I want to use this to operate a 222 transverter on 28? I have heard of the 817 being used successfully. Transverter is 10watt max. best choice?**
A: It will work well I use it as a rover.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As good as the 817
*by J***L on May 4, 2019*

Good upgrade as you get 6 Watts ( on external power ) . I use for satellites. SSB duplex set. I use the 817 for the downlink & 818 for the uplink. Both types , FM & SSB. Typical Yaesu quality. Hard to beat. Very menu driven as Yaesu radios are. Many aftermarket products are available to please the operator. The radio is Yaesu’s longest produced product I do believe . That speaks for itself. No bells and whistles. Simple & reliable. Legendary you may even say. All mode & HF/VHF/UHF (440). Shack in a box. If your into portable ops hard to beat. Read up on it and you see.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This a great QRP rig !
*by F***A on October 9, 2021*

I like the fact that this a really good HF QRP rigI operate only cwThis rig has been in production for around 20 yearsI have seen no one claim mechanical problemsI am positive I have obtained what I am looking forJust understand this is a QRP rig and all should be fine business !73

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great QRP radio
*by B***E on May 19, 2021*

Great QRP radio. If you live in a location where more powerful radios are frowned upon, if you like QRP radio, this is the radio to go out with. It is also great for field day and other remote locations. Easy to use. I recommend getting the antenna tuner.
