Question -- Yaesu FT-897 power supply
I'm considering buying a Yaesu ft-897 for fixed station, home use.
The QST review says there is a space inside the 897 enclosure for a Yeasu AC switching power supply. My question is whether the 897 will accept DC from an external power supply -- I already have a 30 amp Icom power supply -- or must I use the Yaesu internal supply? The rig looks like a pretty good buy at the current $700 or so, after rebate. But if I have to spend another $200 on the internal supply, that's not so good. Thanks, Bob k5qwg |
