[edit] Interesting information
- The FT-847 is a transceiver designed with amateur satellite operation in mind, with features such as cross band full duplex operation, Normal/Reverse Tracking, CTCSS/DCS Encode and Decode and 0.1 Hz tuning steps.
- The transceiver isn’t known for its performance on HF and many would consider it a rather poor performer, however, its digital signal processor and optional filters certainly make it useful on the HF bands
- An often overlooked feature of the FT-847 is its four (4) antenna connectors, separating HF, 6 meters, 2 meters, and 70 centimeters.
