FT-817 w/ MP-1 - I loved the setup; worked great. I sold the 817 and moved
up to a FT-897 just for the power. QRP is fine but I am a new ham and got
frustrated when stations I could hear didn't acknowledge me. I Wanted the
817 for backpacking, and I certainly can't carry the 897 on a hiking trip,
but I couldn't afford to keep both.

Hi all,
What is your practical experience of all these new very small (and
attractive) HF transceivers?
Can they deliver good quality with that small foot print?

cheers,
