Hi, I just found your channel. I'm studying for my Foundation at the moment so I'm spending everyday looking at radios on RU-vid. I had no idea which radio I should get until I saw your video. Thank you.

@m6ceb 4 года назад

Thanks so much mate and good luck on your foundation not that you will need it I'm sure 😉 73 and thanks for watching 🙏

All I was looking for was a 2 m side band radio and I came across this radio very nice radio with Optional collins filter and a BHIDSP module installed.. really looking forward to more of your videos👍👍👍👍

Nice radio Matt, have a great time playing HF with your new shack in the box and the DX Commander antenna :0}

Thanks so much! Can't wait for next week ;) Thanks for all your help ;)

@OysterPir8 4 года назад

This is GREAT! I just got my general class license and have a TON to learn. My antenna is the Comet H422 with an LDG RT100 tuner. I haven't been able to figure it all out yet so I will be checking your channel voraciously. Would love to see videos about getting the 897D set up and the SWR dialed in for transmission. I hope you will do more about the menus. SUBSCRIBED!! 73! KM6WFU

Got the FT-857D same radio basically mate. Be proud of that radio mate it is pristine. I am doing the IF tap on mine at the moment to run the rig via a RTL SDR so the radio is fully on screen with full bandwidth displayed. I would love a full duplex "YAESU FT-847 Earth Station" for satellite work though. 73, DE Nathan, 2E0LIG Leicester

@satveerc 2 года назад

DX Engineering says the following about the FC-30 auto tuner. Has this limited you or anyone else in using certain antennae? “On the HF and 50 MHz bands the impedance matching range is from 16.5Ù to 150Ù (up to 3:1 SWR). Accordingly, the FC-30 should not be expected to match "long wire" type antennas unless you have taken specific design steps to ensure that the impedance presented to the FC-30 is within these specifications.”

I too love my FT-897D. I'll be happy to work you on 20 or 40 meters. You can get South Carolina in your logbook. DE KI4HEE

Yes - all the Yaesu models have the option to reduce the power output (at least the ones I have come across!).

Super radio na poczatek. Mam 897D od 4 miesiecy. Taki niewielki kombajn do wszystkiego. Za 2k pln możesz znalezc na rynku wtórnym. Polecam na pierwsze szlify KF/UKF.
