[SD-User] FT-897 SD set-up

[Rob - G4LMW]

Dear All

Further to my previous post, I managed to fix all the problems bar one - 
could not get the QSY feature to work (though frequency reading was OK).

In the end  I discovered that specifying the radio as "FT847" solved the 
issue

Have other FT897 users found the same problem? (and solution?)
