COLLINS FILTER YF-115S-02
Butch McCollough
Hello to the group. I'm a new member.? I just acquired an FT-847 and am trying to locate the optional Collins RX filter.? It is the
YF-115S-02.? ?Anyone have one laying around that you would sell for less than the King's ransom?? Or do you know where I could find one?? Thanks for any help.

Hi Butch, i'm not sure if you know but the filters in an FT1000MP Mark V are also compatible in the FT847.? This might expand your ability to locate one.? I searched a long time for the 500 Hz CW filter without luck until I learned about the cross-compatibility.? I was searching "FT847 CW filter" (and variations of) and was finding nothing or listings with rediculous greedBay prices.? Skeptical, I did a lot of image searches for the CW filters for both radios and compared them and they looked the same.? So I took a chance and started searching "FT1000MP CW filter" and in short order I was able to find one being parted out by an FT1000MP owner.? I too am looking for the SSB filter.? A couple of times I almost convinced FT1000MP owners to part with their 2.4 kHz SSB filter but failed.? Someday!? :-)

This was the site where I first discovered the cross compatibility.? Scroll down about half way for the SSB one. |
The filter for the 847 is not common. On Thu, 10 Oct 2024, 20:50 Butch McCollough via , <k3afr=[email protected]> wrote: Thank you Richard. I was aware of the FT-1000 MP using the same filters. |
