My Birthday Present from Me to Me

Well My camera lens sold for 1100 so I now have a really good all mode prepper's dream radio (FT-897D)... High powered capable of operating on internal batteries... This will give news reports long after the power and internet are gone

@HurricaneSondra I have replaced that radio with a FT-950 and a ft-8800 ... the FT-897 is now stored in a metal contaner for emergency backup usage

Happy B Day, but let me ask a simple question. What is the point of a HAM radio? You spend a lot of money, time, and effort on the stuff to contact someone 1/2 way around the world, and when you get a hold of them...............then what? What do you talk about with a total stranger? What's the point?

[dsarti1]

@1PossumJenkins well lets see.... if I can talk 1/2 way around the world I can see how big the disaster is and more importantly I can easally communicate within 100 mi to see if anything bad is heading my way... Please put a little thought into your questions

"negitive repeater shift" is the term you were looking for at the end of the vid dave . i have the FT840 and it has been a great rig over the years . spend $20 and get an antenna switch to have the ability to switch between 3-4 antennas;this is great to pulling signals that one antenna will miss . so get your vertical antenna up and then maybe make up 2 longwire ants in differant wavelenghts,trust me on this one

Just thought I'd let you know that the 897D has alot of white noise and needs filters.

I get myself the best birthday and christmas presents every year!

[HurricaneSondra]

compaired to the radio i got kid, that radio is the cockpit of a jet airplane LOL. and i can imagine it will be a long time before you'll ever figure that thing out, i have a police type radio ht that's made by yeasu vertex, and vertex standard is a good radio, it would be better if they'd just minus that damn menu programming now. my hf radio i mentioned before doesnt have the menus that these others have. just press the on key, dial down through the band, set the sideband selector, and 

[HurricaneSondra]

yeah your right, i got my toungue hanging out, I WANT one like that buc i could bearly afford the ft757GX i got now. and that one i got is ONLY HF lol. my god, expensive.
