![]() It works everything.HF, Vhf, and all mode. I just bought the Yaesu FT-847 about 4 months ago. I think its worth the $ and is a diverse radio. I quickly appreciated the display shining bright in the direct sunlight light, while the TS2000 was washed out and almost unreadable.Īnyway. After Field Day 2002 and using this side by side with a TS2000. When HF conditions go south.just hit the SAT button and work a FM bird(satellite) crusing by. IF i only had more room I'd dump the 100. I also ran this mobile for awhile with an ATAS100 while my FT100 was in the shop. With a decent antenna system and knowledge of how to use the DSP, HF wont be a dissapointment. I started out using this radio on 2m SSB and had a ball, then upgraded to General and got on HF. Just rag-chew and this is the perfect radio for that! I have upgraded the filters to Inrad 2.8k 's on TX and RX for even better audio. It is simple to operate, has all the modes I need, and performs just great for me. ![]() Having passed the RAE and the morse I have gone on to the yaesu ft1000mp field - It was a toss up between this and the pro2 - but my good experience with the 847 led me to the field. This radio is a true contender on vhf/uhf howeer its not a pro or 1000mp on hf, but for the money its a bargin and I'd have one in my shack anytime and still do. ![]() ![]() The optional filters are a must - the cw filtr makes a massiv difference to the radio - these however are vey easy to fit - simply follow the instructions in the manual. The features and gizmos are all explained clearly and its very easy to read - not at all hard going. The radio does initially look intimidating (lots of buttons & menus - dont mention satellite operation), but by spending a little time reading the manual it all soon becomes clear. I first bought the radio having passed the uk novice exam. I have owned the 847 for around 2 years now. ![]()
