HELLO MATT. YOU MUST POWER THE AT100PRO OFF A SEPARATE SOURCE. I THINK LDG SUGGEST THIS IN THE LITERATURE IT DRAWS SEVERAL HUNDRED MILLIAMPS WHEN TUNING BUT...
Hi Wayne. For me it sounds like RFI problems, maybe produced by your ATAS-120. Just try a RF choke at the base of your ATAS. A RF choke is NEVER wrong, ..hi. ...
Matt- I have the FT-897D w/ FP-30 power supply; the LDG Z-11 Pro tuner w/ the Y-ACC cable; a MicroHam USB II interface to the laptop and soundcard; HRD for CAT...
Dear Matt~~ 897 is a nice rig; excellent for both base and (to some extent) field work -- but beware; the front tuning knobs are somewhat fragile and can...
Hello Leeds, I believe the data input in the back is only selected as an input when the rig is in "Digital" mode. I have had the frozen mode and band freeze...
I have the FT897 (late model non-D version) and it has been a real trooper. It does very well as a base station rig, and I have used it extensively on my boat...

The FT897 Group averages around 320 (+/-100 one-sigma) messages per month. Because the volume of messages is rather large, I would like to remind everyone of...
When trying to send to my 897 from 2 different laptops I get an error on the radio side. The baud rates are the same. Anybody else have this? It works just...
I am trying to decide between these two rigs as a replacement for an IC-725 rig used for mobile and backup for my Navy MARS station. The IC-725 just doesn't...
They are basically the same radio except the 857 is in a mobile form factor and has no room for internal batteries or a power supply. I myself have an FT-897D...
... Lee, The 897D and 857D are internally the same radio. The external package and knobs are different, but the "motherboard" is the same--it all depends on ...
Lee, I have both the 857D and 897D and they are both good rigs. I personally don't think the 897 would make a good mobile but it's a great portable rig. It...
I use the FT897D in my car all of the time. With a Marine deep cycle battery and an antenna stand, it works in campsites quite well also. Not sure what you...
I'm not saying the 897 can't be used as a mobile, but the 857 is better suited. I can picture the trouble I would have trying to mount an 897 in my pickup....
Lee, I own an 897D. I chose it after careful consideration of its plusses and minuses compared with an 857, which others have discussed already, and selected...
Hi, Here's my first problem with the Yaesu FT-897D. I've enoyed the rig. Some how the CFIL (under menu "n," I believe, won't disengage. There are no filters...
All, Here is my dilemma... I have an 897, Rigblaster NoMic, and a Sony laptop running WinPSKse. I have hooked everything up, can receive signals (PSK31) just...
Hi Lew, I use my 897D in my F150 pickup. I have a "pedestal"; mount and a homebrew mobile mounting bracket. The pedestal is set with the radio at about the...
... Hi, I still don't get it. The CFIL indictor is enclosed by parantheses. I cannot turn it off although I have no filters on menu "p" or whatever it is. The...
The rig has places for two physical filters and one digital filter. The ceramic filter (2300 Hz wide) is the provided physical filter, and the digital filter...
Yep, I just checked mine and the [CFIL] is selected. This is the default and only selection unless you have installed one or more of the filter options. If you...
That's because it is the only filter you have, thus has to be selected by default. Can't turn it off unless you have another filter installed ... .sri .... Bob...
Does your laptop have a serial port or only USB? WinPSK probably wants to see a Comm port to send the transmit (PTT) signal, and the parameter must be set...
I use a Heil pro-set plus on my 857D. I run a Mirage B 2516G behind it. I aslo have the cat cable hooked up to my computer so I can run Ham radio deluxe. What...
Does anyone have a recommendation for a software program that will allow you to populate the memories in the FT-897 via a computer? Does Yaesu sell such a...
I've used the IC 725 (smaller but a lousy rece4iver) and the IC 751A (tremendous radio, but the passengers won't fit up front). I'd think that even the 897...
Hello Bill, Go to http://www.g4hfq.co.uk/mmohelp/mmohelp.htm Don't know if it is any good as I have not used it but it seems to be the only one around. I am...
