Yaesu FT-897D and AT-897 PLUS Auto-tuner

Description

Yaesu FT-897D and AT-897 PLUS AutoTuner.
The FT-897D is a versatile HF/VHF/UHF transceiver with coverage from 160 to 10 meters and 50/144/430 MHz, known for its portability and robust performance.
The AT-897 PLUS is a reliable auto-tuner designed specifically for the FT-897

The units show minor cosmetic wear but are in satisfactory operational condition, having been lightly used and tested at full power. The absence of a microphone, due to damage by a pet, is noted. The asking price is £625 or nearest offer, which is competitive given the typical market prices.

The Yaesu FT-897D is a highly regarded multi-mode HF/VHF/UHF transceiver known for its versatility and portability. It offers coverage from 160 to 10 meters, plus 6m, 2m, and 70cm bands, supporting SSB, CW, AM, FM, and digital modes[1][2]. The transceiver can operate at 20W using internal batteries or up to 100W with an external power source, making it suitable for both field and base station use[2].

The LDG AT-897 PLUS auto-tuner is a valuable accessory specifically designed for the FT-897, enhancing its functionality for antenna matching.

The offered package, priced at £625, appears to be a fair deal considering:

1. Both units are in satisfactory working condition, tested at full power.
2. The transceiver and tuner have been lightly used, mainly for local FM communications.
3. Minor cosmetic wear is present, including small scratches and paint flaking on the tuner.
4. The package lacks a microphone due to pet damage.

Given the versatility of the FT-897D and the inclusion of the auto-tuner, this offer represents good value for someone looking for a capable all-mode HF/VHF/UHF setup. However, potential buyers should factor in the cost of a replacement microphone and be prepared to accept the minor cosmetic imperfections[1][2].
