The Yaesu FT-817 is the legendary 5-watt all-mode HF/VHF/UHF portable -- the radio that put serious HF in a jacket pocket, and a fixture of summits, parks, and emergency kits for two decades. Yaesu discontinued it, so the used market is the only way in: 12 recent sales, median around $646, ranging from $500 to $1,070 for the cleanest examples. A genuine bargain sits under about $485. Power it up on more than one band before buying -- these little rigs lived hard lives outdoors.
