The Wiccan Rede
Bide the Wiccan Laws we must In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust. Live and let live. Fairly take and fairly give. Cast the Circle thrice about To keep the evil spirits out. To bind the spell every time Let the spell be spake in rhyme. Soft of eye and light of touch, Speak little, listen much. Deosil go by the waxing moon, Chanting out the Witches' Rune. Widdershins go by the waning moon, Chanting out the baneful rune. When the Lady's moon is new, Kiss the hand to her, times two. When the moon rides at her peak, Then your heart's desire seek, Heed the North wind's mighty gale, Lock the door and drop the sail. When the wind comes from the South, Love will kiss thee on the mouth. When the wind blows from the West, Departed souls will have no rest. When the wind blows from the East, Expect the new and set the feast. Nine woods in the cauldron go, Burn them fast and burn them slow. Elder be the Lady's tree, Burn it not or cursed you'll be. When the Wheel begins to turn, Let the Beltane fires burn. When the Wheel has turned to Yule, Light the log and the Horned One rules. Heed ye Flower, Bush and Tree, By the Lady, blessed be. Where the rippling waters go, Cast a stone and truth you'll know. When ye have a true need, Hearken not to others' greed. With a fool no season spend, Lest ye be counted as his friend. Merry meet and merry part, Bright the cheeks and warm the heart. Mind the Threefold Law you should, Three times bad and three times good. When misfortune is enow, Wear the blue star on thy brow. True in Love ever be, Lest thy lover's false to thee. Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An ye harm none, do what ye will.

Just a side note I can view You Tube videos faster and better if I link to them outside of You Tube. The connection, video and audio do not lag any when I view them this way. In doing so I no way claim any part of the videos, just the pure enjoyment of sharing them through my blog.
A note about Comments: To date I have deleted or removed over 70 comments that were posted on my blog. If you can read my blog then you understand "English", I Speak, Read, and Write in English only. So if you have comments you wish to share with me about my blogs please be sure they are in "English". Of those 70 some comments that I translated in the past - they were not suitable for most people or for children to read. If you can not leave me a comment in English I will have to delete it - assuming that it is something you really do not want me to see since it is not in English. As much as I desire comments they must be in English, Thank you.

I own both of these the 817 rides on my scooter the 857 in my suv
I own both. I prefer the 857 because I have the choice to transmit 100W.
I like the 817 because it is just a bit smaller and lighter.
Both require you know the menu's.
If I ever learn CW, I plan on making more use of the 817.
I have the FT-817, and it is an awesome little rig. I would only choose (if that is your only option) the FT-857 over the FT-857 if you are:
1. Going to be doing mobile ops.
2. Wanting to be prepared for emergency comms.
In both cases, the option of added power can be very important.
The FT-857 can also be operated at QRP levels, of course, but not as
efficiently power-wise as the FT-817. The FT-817 draws around 400 ma on RX, and can handle 9.6 to 16 volts, if running off batteries is important to you. The 857 draws 600 ma on RX, and has a reputation of not liking lower
voltages.
The 857 (and the Icom 706 and 7000) can have a separation kit installed, so you can have the body mounted in your backpack and the control head in your hand.
My two pesos' worth.
