basic usage
Q: Does the FT-847 have dual monitor / dual receive?
A: No. Although it will not dual receive, it does does have a priority function as another option, which is considered a "dual watch." The second VFO is transmit only, designed for satellite work.
Q: Does the FT-847 have true cross-band repeat?
A: No. It claims to, but it can only rebroadcast incoming signal while it cannot allow a remote HT to reply back through it. It is only useful if you want to listen on the HT.
priority function
Priority Channel Scanning (dual Watch) is possible with the Yaesu FT-897. It allows you to operate on a VFO, Memory channel, or Home channel, while periodically checking a user-defined Priority Memory Channel for activity. If a station is received on the Priority Memory Channel which is strong enough to open the Squelch, the scanning will pause on that station. The Priority feature is available in all operating modes.
- When loading memories, remember to reserve Channel #1 for Priority use.
Here's how it works: Press the keypad's [5(PRI)] key momentarily to initiate the Priority mode. The FT-847 will continue to operate normally on the current frequency, but every five seconds will switch briefly to Memory Channel #1, looking for activity. If no activity is found, operation will resume on the current frequency.
- If activity is found on the Priority Channel (Memory #1), the transceiver will lock on the Priority Channel for a time interval set via Menu #26
- Using PTT will lock it on the priority channel if that's where it was at when you pressed.
- Press [VFO/M] or [5(PRI)] key to exit priority channel.
