Just purchased one today. Thing had more accessories than Inspector Gadget. 4 batteries, side mount AT tuner, sound card ect… Thanks for the Vid. It was helpful in understanding the value of what I was purchasing.

I have my FT-897D, which I got when it first came out, on the table now. I just got my LDG Z-11 Pro yesterday. This was before I saw your video. I have been trying some functions today and really like this combo. The more I understand this combo. the better I like this. Thank you for this video with a similar setup that I have.

the 897d was my first radio and I still own it. I still love it as its so portable and its an all in one shack in the box and all band.

I've never done HF from anywhere but home. I have an Icom IC-781 I've had for several years. Still works fine, and is about I need. I like the 100 watts. I considered the Yaesu FT-991A, so I could have HF, VHF, and UHF all in one radio, but it seemed to get a lot of negative reviews. I have a Yaesu FT-2980R for 2 meters, and rarely ever use UHF. Right now my only UHF radio is a Yaesu FT-60R handheld

I bought one used last year. I love it! I had to replace the microphone connector and Yaesu still had the part available.

[mikemarch]

I bought one back in April/May. I had no idea that it did all that! Guess I might need to bring it out, move the Kenwood aside and give it a try! Thanx for the video!

I was just given one of these radios! As a brand new ham, your video makes me appreciate it just that much more! I have a lot to learn.

I’ve owned the 817/817ND/ 818, 857D, 891, and 897D well as the IC-706 mkiig. The 817ND/818 and 897D are my favorites.

How 😮 Thank You Very Much For Sharing, I didnt know this Radio did so many things. I bought it brand new from giga parts in 2012 and Never Used it, I guess I am going to have to use it and get to Learn all the features it has.

Great radio. I bought mine about the same time with all the options, except internal batteries that I bought later. I did the LDG AT-897 Plus tune. After I killed my FT-817nd the 897 became QRP radio. Its a great radio.

As a condo dweller shack in the box is the only way to go.

I bought two FT-857Ds, one for the car and one for manpack portable.

I did sell my IC-706MKiig that was widebanded to a new ham that was visually impaired. Another great radio.

I was thinking about getting this radio in the newest version but like everything the older models are better. I will try and get one of these on eBay

[raymondmartin]

I had it about 20 years ago when it first
came out, and did enjoy 😉 😎 it for
portable use as with the internal batteries 🔋
it did give you 20 watts on HF. I also had
the power supply that could be used for
internal use and the side mounted power
supply, I think it was the FC-30 model.

Great video thanks for making and posting 🙂👍

On another note the receive on that radio is loud and clear. Can't beat the older radios. I have 2 Kenwood tk840 radios for 440 and gmrs and the audio quality is so much better.

[Thomas]

Hi have the same radio love my yaesu ft897d I have mine has the Mars cap

[kurtschulmeyer]

I still use mine as my primary: receive is not as good as some of the newer rigs, but still holds it's own

[MaciejBaur]

It is also my first and favorite rig. I like it and I've found only one strange behavior. Mic socket set to second CAT. I have to enable it every time after radio is turned on. Does someone has the same?

[Dallas-Rife-UDX--Tennessee]

I’ve had mine in use finally the last few days, trying to get familiar. I bought it almost 2 years ago . It has a lot of functions, I still can’t find that scope, or the SWR display 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Thomas]

Hi I have the yaesu ft897d mine is open so I can transmite on cb and pmr on uhf

[bobwall]

Does the 897 and 897b both say 897 on the front panel? If so how would I know the difference?
