I have the exact same combo of 897D and AT-897 plus. I bought it used when I got back into ham radio over a decade ago, and it's still working well. It's not my main rig anymore, but still gets regular use in my alternate shack. It's definitely due for a PM cycle and some cosmetic TLC.
@@Philip-KA4KOE Do they stay gone ? Or is this a good short term fix ? Thanks for the info.. I'll give that a try.. I've had more luck with Icom... Still use my IC 728... wish I could find the FM module... Just use my 7410 and 9700... KJ4OKL... 73
