Stewart, 

Since you can do two of the three - either CAT and Linear or 
Band Data and Linear (e.g., TX INH and TX GND are present in 
both CAT/Tuner and Linear configurations), why not add a 
microHAM Band Decoder to your station? 

The Band Decoder will set between the computer and the FT-897, 
take RS-232 from the computer, output FIF-232 (TTL) for the 
FT-897, read the FT-897 frequency from the data and provide 
antenna switching plus amplifier band data lines (PAYAESU 
option), ICOM voltage (PAICKL1 option) or ICOM CI-V (PAICPW1
option) if you need it.

Pardon me for suggesting a product I handle <G> ...
