[FARC] Re: INRAD IF Filters for Yaesu - 2kHz & 500Hz

[Joseph M. Durnal]

Thanks Sid - I was relying on someone's word when they told me it
would work in the FT-817 - but armed with your info, I found out that
even though it is the right IF filter, it is not the right board for
the FT-817, but it is still corredt for the FT-857 (what I was using
it with) and the FT-897 models and it is safe to assume that the
boards will not fit the FT-847, FT-2000 or FT-1000 radios.
