    I preferred the FT-897D, only because it has the appearance of a more conventional desk-top or table-top radio.. The 857D would probably be a nicer rig for back-pack or HFPack operations for pedestrian mobile operations..

    Hi wa6ube de kc9mav my dad kb9qxe made a cw key based off the bencher heavy weight champion and he put some sticky stuff on it and it does not move but that was very interesting I currently have only tech operating privileges but I hope to be getting the general soon 73!
