But the new D version adds the 60 meter ham band and includes the formerly optional DSP-2 Digital Signal Processing Unit. The FT-857D is loaded with features, high power output and a receiver that blends the renowned performance of the FT-897D and FT-1000 Mark V. It provides coverage of the 160 to 6 meter bands plus the 144 MHz and 430 MHz bands! The ergonomic layout and large tuning knob insure safe mobile operation. And look at the receive coverage: 0.1-56, 76-108, 118-164 and 420-470 MHz The front panel is removable and it is remotable with the optional YSK-857 separation kit.
