FT-857 & FT897 are great "shack in a box" transceivers.
With digital modes like FT8 now so popular, a second CAT port is often needed.
If the rear CAT port is taken up with a tuner or linear, 2ndCat provides that much needed 2nd CAT port.

Located in Timaru, a coastal town in the south island of New Zealand.
No big company here, just one person, tinkering, designing & assembling radio related equipment for fellow enthiusiests to enjoy.
My station consists of a Yaesu FT-100D, FT-817, FT-818ND, FT-857, FT-897D, FT-991A, FTdx10, FTdx101D, FT-1000MP MkV Field & Icom IC-7200. Hand held transceivers now limited to a couple of Boafeng UV-5R. I also enjoy collecting and repairing military radio equipment and presently own Tadarin PRC-174 & PRC-2200, Collins PRC-515, Racal VRM5080, SEL 52s & 52A, AN/URC-113 (Hughes RT-1209 HF SSB exciter with Collins 150W AM7148 PA / Antenna Coupler), Rohde & Schwarz XK-405 (GB-145 Control Unit, XK-425 400W HF TRX & FK-245 400W antenna coupler), MEL VRC-321, Magnavox PRC-113, Hughes PRC-104, Motorola LST-5E & Harris PRC-138, Racal BCC-39B, Collins 628T & AN/ARC-186. My main antenna is a Carolina Windom OFC that gets out well on all HF bands 80m and above. I also use a discone for my infrequent VHF & UHF use. My test equipment of note includes Rohde & Schwarz CRTU-RU, CMU200, HMO1002 & NGMO1, Aeroflex 7100, IFR1900, Agilent E6621A, HP 8924 & mandatory Bird 43 with slugs & loads.
My time is devoted to developing Amateur Radio related products which includes CatDisplay, CatTouch, CatMeters, CatKnobz & a few others. Most days I have an HF rig running FT8 while I'm soldering away preparing orders for amateurs from around the globe. Now and then a rig will cross the desk for repair which can be equal parts fun or curse given my eyesight is not as good these days. I mix it up with a bit of programming (Lazarus / C), system configuring (Linux / Windows) and learning about new software or hardware that takes my interest. I know I can pick up the phone or use the internet to contact someone on the other side of the globe, but for me, the thrill is in making that direct point to point contact with my equipment, sharing my knowledge with other like minded people, helping out where I can & learning.
Stay safe, stay well 73 de Chris ZL1CVD.Look outside your bubble. Try new things, learn new things, be kind.
