Good ham, Jerry K5SOP
« on: July 15, 2021, 10:18:11 AM »

 I recently bought an FT-897D withe internal power supply and while waiting for it to arrive I suddenly remembered that it might not have the bottom cover which is removed to install the FP-30 supply. I contacted the seller and asked if it had been included and he said no. I wanted to sell the FP-30 because I already had a good power supply. So, I was left with the problem of replacing that bottom cover or trying to make a replacement from aluminum. I contacted Yaesu Parts but the cover isn't available anymore. Then I put an ad out to see if anyone had that part and, luckily, I was contacted by Jerry, K5SOP who had owned the rig. He went to the trouble of looking for it in several boxes and found it. Then he offered to send it to me for the cost of postage. I sent him some money for Priority shipping from the USPS and he put it in the mail this morning. It looks like I will receive the 897D and the replacement bottom cover next Monday.
 Jerry was great about this and it represented the way that hams can assist each other when needed. I wanted to thank him on this forum and say that he deserves mention for his fine assistance.
