here. It is helpful to those who are struggling to read it to post the details here in plain text, thanks! I am looking forward to pricing and what features, other than two batteries versus one, have been sacrificed from the 897 specs. Just may go with the 857 instead of the 897. When does GigaParts anticipate availability in the USA? 73, doc kd4e On Sat, 2002-12-14 at 23:04, rcsperr wrote:

GigaParts has not received any ETA on the FT-857. Of course, Dayton
is a safe bet, but judging by previous release dates relative to their FCC application date, my guess is the initial run will be released February-March 2003 with full production in time for Dayton. The new FT-2800M 2meter mobile will probably be released about the same time, if not a little sooner. I suspect this radio will replace the FT-2100 and FT-2600. From what I can tell, the FT-857 is an FT-100D replacement. The FT- 100D, although a GREAT mobile rig, is nearing the end of its product life cycle (first introduced in late 1998?). Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be a big hit. If we all ask nicely, maybe Chip will post some FT-857 info here. :) -Robby C.
