Hello NLRS land
I have for sale a Yaesu FT897.  The original Swiss Army knife of radios.  160m through 6m at 100 watts, 2m at 50 watts, 432/440 at 20 watts.  In addition to the standard ceramic SSB filter it also has the Collins mechanical filter 526-8739.020 (2.3 KHz) and 526-8686-010 (500 Hz).  There is also a Targus carrying case.
This radio is just back from the Illinois QSO Party where I made 902 CW and 364 Q's with it.  In addition to that I've run it through its paces on 6, 2, and 432 and its running per spec.  
These radios are going for just over ~ $530 right now without the IF filters listed above.  For a NLRS club member, I'm selling for $500 even.  
Please drop me a note direct at W0ZQ at aol.com if you have an interest.
PS:  This is the second of two FT897's that I own.  I'm keeping my original one, maybe forever.  
73, JonW0ZQ
