Excellent Rig			Time owned: more than 12 months
This was my first rig when I got into amateur radio in 2005. This is the one unit I will likely never sell. All mode all band, satellite, digital work... a beauty Good filters, knobs on the front make adjustments easy, clear audio, 4 antenna connections, can use ATAS-120A screwdriver antenna also. This rig is more portable than my other rigs so I use this when camping or other. I have read about the little problems and issues associated with this rig but all rigs have their little problems. Currently I use my FT-847 for 2m & 70 cm as well as digital modes. I found it easy to connect for digital using HRD than my 950 Nothing bad to say about this baby. I use an FT-950 and FT-1000 MP Mark V for HF work.
Product is in production.
