Nice one Tony, that a really nice display at a very reasonable price. I like the fact that you could see SWR, Power, Mod & ALC all at the same time. Its a really handy solution when you have the radio mounted in a location that makes viewing otherwise difficult. OK so where has that new ATU come from !. Thats a Beast Tony.

Was suprised to see it work when plugged into the mic socket. So you have CAT control from the mic connector or is it just and output. Either way that is an interesting option. Oh, by the way, you sound like a great friendly guy. Nice video.

Hi Martin, yes there is a second CAT port vide the microphone connector.. you need to switch it over menu 59(guess) but you then lose the up/down buttons on the mic.

Hello, I have japan version of FT-897D and want to know if theres any way to unlock the tx for MARS/CAP. The US onewill do it but this one I am told by Yaesu is locked for Japan bands. I am curious if you know a way.
@TonyAlbus
Жыл бұрын
Hi, That is a very good question and something to think about when you buy any of the Japan version Yeasu. sorry to say to you, but from what i have read many times. the Japan firmware locks the mars/cap. so even if you do the mod. it still won't work. i have not read about people successfully overwriting the firmware with US version . if you did or have , please share with us.

Excellent video. I am looking for a solution as my 857 has the dreaded zebra display now. Question - if you change your radio from VFO to Memory display does this display also change? Sounds like a silly question but what is displayed would depend on how the software was written and what it is capturing in the radio. Tnx Tony.

Hi, thank you. sorry to say that i have sold my 897 with this display to buy a 857 like you have. It will only show the information that is send trough CAT.. so menu it will not do. For your display problem, there are replacement displays on AliExpress if you are good with a soldering iron, this could also be a solution for you. but this external display is perfect for supporting old eyes like mine as an extra :) i will put some links to the replacemnet display in the video description 73 Tony

I’ve been trying to figure out the difference in the FT-897S versions I keep seeing for sale on eBay ,, that are in Japan . I have heard they don’t have the same frequency capabilities ?? The prices are much cheaper , even after import taxes and fees ,, do you know what the S model in 897S means ?
@TonyAlbus
Жыл бұрын
The frequency, is prob not a problem after a MARS mod.but in Japan there are also low power models... so maybe thats why it is cheaper. so be sure you have a 100Watts model.

Hallo Gertjan, de externe display is alleen in groen, maar later wordt het misschien gecopieerd door andere en dan komen er meer kleuren. er is al een aanbieder CatDisplays , maar die zijn een stuk duurder, maar hebben wele kleuren.

Ja precies perfect voor het strepen probleem... aan de andere kant, die radios zijn te goed. vergeet niet dat ze tegen de 20 jaar aanlopen. toevallig gaat de display eerst stuk. aan de andere kant is mijn Icom IC-751 30 of 35 jaar oud.. die is nog helemaal goed.. een recap zal daar wel aankomen... 'vroeger' maakten ze spullen voor 20 jaar te werken.

Hi Tony. Interesting video. Very good explained. I want to buy, but i hope it works with 817. My question what should the menu setting be if you use this combined with a linear on the back ?
@TonyAlbus
Жыл бұрын
Hi Kees, i did not get it to work on my 817, the 12volts that should power trough the CAT plug somehow does not power the display, but that could just be on mine. But i have niet tried connecting it with external power. on the 897 you can connect it via the MIC plug also, this is not an option for the 817. as in the menu you cant change that setting for the mic. i am not sure how to combine it with the liniar.. maybe make a splitter for only the PTT
