I've been using an FT897D for the past year or so. No complaints here,
it seems to do a fine job.
Just the stock filters, but I've never had a problem with too much RF in
this area....
I hope to add another 222 transverter eventually. Possibly built into
the unused internal battery bay, which would make a nice 4 band package
in a small box....
From what I have read, the '857 is electrically identical to the '897.
