[Yaesu] FT-847

[Eric Lemmon]

Daren,

I and three other hams in the local club have an FT-847, and we all love the rig!  Definitely spring for the optional automatic tuner- it works like a dream.  The only thing I want to change is the headphone volume.  I have the itty-bitty surface-mount
resistors to install, but just haven't had the time.  Grapevine says Yaesu will be shipping FT-847s with the different resistors in the headphone circuit as a running change in the near future.
