But here is what I believe happens when the modification is made:</div><div class="ecxgmail_default"><ul><li>The radio has transmit coverage which matches the receive coverage, <u>except</u> no transmit below 1.8 MHz; no transmit in the FM broadcast band; no transmit in the aeronautical VHF band.</li><li>There are no special channel positions on the radio for the five amateur 5 MHz channels. However, with the extended transmit capability the five channels can simply be programmed into five of the 200 memory channels.</li><li>Two-meter band and 440 MHz band amateur repeater offsets are no longer set automatically. However, any offset can be set before saving a repeater pair into a radio memory.</li><li>All memories are erased on the radio... but with CHIRP, you can easily restore your previously programmed memory channels.</li><li>For programming with CHIRP, specify FT-857/FT-897 (<u>not</u> FT-857D/FT-897D).</li></ul><div>The details on how to make the modification are available online -- e.g., see <a href="https://www.txarmymars.org/downloads/FT897D-MARS-Mod.pdf" target="_blank">MARS Modification For Yaesu FT-897D</a>. I understand that upon presentation of proof of MARS or CAP participation, Yaesu technical support will also provide the modification instructions.</div><div><br></div><div>David / K7DB</div></div><div class="ecxgmail_extra">

<p dir="ltr">It changes to FT-857 with no D?</p>
