[VHFcontesting] Using battery bays for transverters in FT897

[david feldman]

Jon's message (about adding a transverter in the battery bay of the FT897 
sounds like a ***WONDERFUL*** idea. I'd been mulling over the fate of my 
FT897, as I don't really have a need for integrated batteries, but would 
like to add band coverage. Jon would you be able to post a more detailed 
description on how you integrated this, if you think another "extra band" 
such as 1296 would be practical?

Very tks,
