From John Kruk, national sales manager, so it is official and not a rumor:
ANNOUNCEMENT - Dec.28th, 2022
Please be informed that the production of the FT-818ND and FTM-400XDR will
be discontinued. We are forced to make this unfortunate decision due to
difficulty we are having with the availability of some components. We
appreciate your long-term patronage of the FT-818ND and FTM-400XDR.
There seem to be some of both available, or in the pipeline.
73,
Alan
