The answer depends on your operating mode preferences and the availability of filters.?
Preferring CW, my two slots are filled with Collins 300 and 500 mechanical filters in both my FT-897D and FT-857D. ?These filters are no longer attainable.?
INRAD (Vibroplex) still shows a few filters for the FT-857D other than the 300 and 500. ?When it was suggested to W3PA (owner) that these two IF filters be manufactured as crystal rather than mechanical filters, he said they couldn't be made small enough to fit the radios.

?So, the manual talks about three filter boards for this radio but only two install spots are available. That means a choice has to be made. Which two of the three are the more worthwhile filters?
