Looking for some help - I have to come up with some $$$ and I have the choice of selling either my 703 (HF) or the 817ND. The 703 is used, has the Icom carrying pack, Gel Cell battery, while the 817ND is still NIB (Haven't had the time to use it, so I figured someon here owns one).
Having used the 703, I know what I like and I know it's possible the PA or Driver could go out/ or not. I really like the tuner too.
The 817ND is 5 watts less, but much smaller/lighter and covers any band I want to use, however I haven't used it so I'm not sure how I would like it, and of course, it doesn't have a tuner.
Any votes, one way or the other?
Tnx
Woody
