I am sending this to the lists I am on regarding Ham Radio. I guess in a way it is S P A M about S P A M. Anyway, I am sick and tired of the constant "Wow, I...
I saw one at Dallas Ham-Com last weekend and was impressed by how big it seemed (maybe a little smaller than the old IC-735) and the retro '70s look. Dunno if...

Hello ! Does the FT897 rx and tx on 70 MHz ?? Would be nice for those who can tx there and for me to have the option to make X-band QSO's. Any info on when the...
