The
FT-897D
includes the capability for transmission and
reception on the five spot frequencies assigned to the Ama-
teur Service in the United States. To operate on the 5 MHz
band:
1. Press the
V/M
key once to enter the “Memory” mode (a
memory channel number “
M-nnn
” will appear on the
display in the space previously occupied by “
VFOa
” or
“
VFOb
”).
2. Memory channels “
M-601
” through “
M-605
” are pre-
programmed, at the factory, with
the permitted frequencies in the
5 MHz band, and the USB mode
is automatically selected on
these channels.
If you have partitioned your memory channels into
Memory Groups via Menu Mode

, the memory channel numbers for 60-meter
operation will be displayed as “

” ~ “

.”
