That is a really nice station! Your power distribution module for the battery has insired me - I will try to build something similar for my battery.

I feel the same. I have decided that from my collection of HF rigs, the FT-817 is the one I would most want to replace if lost, even though it is not on the air much these days. Such a marvelous design, and many fond memories of adventures with it. And I’ve got that same tuner :-)
