through the fine points of the setup and use of
your new FT-897D. I know you’re anxious to
get on the air, but I encourage you to read the “Opera-
tion” section of this manual as thoroughly as possible, so
you’ll get the most out of this fantastic new rig. Now. .
.let’s get operating!

OPERATION
When you are operating the FT-897D with the
optional FP-30 External power supply, always
turn on the MAIN switch on the FP-30 before
turning on the POWER switch on the FT-897D. When shut-
ting down, please turn off the POWER switch on the FT-
897D before turning off the MAIN switch on the FP-30.
OPERATING BAND SELECTION
This transceiver covers an incredibly wide frequency range,
over which a number of different operating modes are used.
Therefore, this transceiver’s frequency coverage has been
divided into different operating bands, each of with has its
own pre-set frequency steps and operating modes. You can
change the channel steps and operating mode once you get
started, of course, per the next section.

quires different procedure. See page 23 for de-
