Hi Gary,
I use an FT847 on 4m, and can confirm it is both inefficient and deaf.
But it does work, and I have had some nice contacts on it - including 
Portugal this year.

May I recommend the website
http://www.70mhz.org/

Where there is useful information about equipment for 4 meters.

Also the "fourmeters" email reflector which operates in very much the same 
way as this one (and is nearly as active) can be found on "Yahoo Groups" - 
it is is a good place to discuss topics such as this, but also to arrange 
skeds etc.
