I should not have typed "detachable" head, should have been "replaceable". Someone told me that it was a pretty simple task to swap out a new head but a nightmare to replace the LCD-only, even if Yae
Yes, it was Yaesu who said the LCD is no longer available. They also quoted me $130.+ for the head which is a lot for a rig this old, even though it is a versatile rig. -- Thanks! & 73, doc, KD4E ..
I was looking for a remote control/DTMF mic for my FT-897D. I noticed that Universal Radio shows only the MH-36 with their FT-897D and the MH-59 with their FT-857D. Does the MH-36 offer the same feat
Other than portability what would I miss were I to replace my LDG AT-897 autotuner with their AT-1000? I am looking at using a 500W solid state amp with my FT-897D so I will need a high power autotun
Thanks Dean! No idea why Universal does not offer both mics on both the 857D & 897D pages, perhaps an editing oversight. I will get about the business of finding myself a MH-59! -- Thanks! & 73, doc,
Thanks to all for their responses! I have made an offer on a used MH-59 (including and not including a swap of my stock MH-31). If that does not work out I will save up for a new one. Small free tail

The Icom IC-735 is a $350. rig used these days. A bargain! I think W5EUQ has one for sale if anyone is looking. -- Thanks! & 73, doc, KD4E ... somewhere in FL URL: bibleseven (dot) com ______________
The Drake TR-7 was way ahead of its time and still is a fine rig for about any Ham application! I have owned or via a Club had access to three of them over the years. They may be found for $450. and
Using WINE or VMWare does cover the inadequate coding skills of some programmers who appear to be unable to make their apps cross-platform compatible. It does inject an additional level of complexit
IMHO ... Your Drake TR-7 was not working properly. A properly working TR-7 will still get the best of some far more modern rigs on rx and on tx, for best performance on CW one may choose to make som
What about the Kenwood TS-180S? Decent rx specs: http://www.sherweng.com/table.html Also, for $650. one may buy a used Yaesu FT-897D. One could contest base, mobile, and portable -- perfect for Fiel
Early model non-D or recent production 897D? I recently sold some stuff and bought a used 897D and have been pleased with the receiver. I would agree with the very positive reviews on eham. http://w

FireFox, Thunderbird, Seamonkey, OpenOffice, and many other apps started in Linux and were ported to the MS version of windows and to Apple. Home Depot runs their entire corporation under Linux. Thi
The suggestion that there are Linux solutions is often mocked by the uninformed -- I was merely pointing out that a major corporation disagrees -- and is doing quite well. Just came upon this site w
Huh? What "religious significance"? I merely offered an opinion as to the desirability of accessible and cross-platform compatible vs proprietary software for Hams -- in keeping with the long Ham tr
VOX/PTT Dual-element Throat Mic w/transparent ear tube. (works with a ton of different Yaesu/Vertex HT's). As-new since I bought it with the hopes it would work with my Icom IC-Q7A but it did not. He
Are you using a MH-59 mic? There is a known RFI problem, easily solved using some toroids. -- Thanks! & 73, doc, KD4E ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Projects: http://ham-macguyver
I believe that they were mounted inside the mic head at the base where the mic cord enters the mic head. My FT-897D came with the MH-31 mic. Do you recall if you mic has a DTMF pad? If so it is proba
