Jon is correct. 857D is current….very nice radio (mil-spec, isn’t it?)
897 was discontinued…… From: BVARC [mailto:bvarc-boun...@bvarc.org] On Behalf Of Jon Noxon via BVARC Sent: Friday, February 26, 2016 5:57 PM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: Jon Noxon <j...@noxon.cc> Subject: Re: [BVARC] (no subject) So far as I can tell, the ft-857d has not been discontinued. The ft-897 was discontinued recently and has features similar to the '857d at qrp levels.

The faceplate is smaller and no touch screen bs to distract you. Get a screwdriver antenna for hf and a browning for 2M and 70cm. Sweet! How old is the truck?
