Yaesu FT-897D Battery Cover
« on: November 23, 2022, 07:11:36 PM »

Hello,
I recently purchased a FT-897D with the FP-30 Internal Power supply. I am also interested in using this with the internal battery option. I see that I can purchase the FNB-78 batteries but I cannot see anything concerning the actual panel cover that supports these batteries. Does anyone know of a source or a part number to search for the cover panel that supports the dual battery option for the FT-897(D).  Thanks!

The original cover was the original bottom cover, which accommodated 2x batteries as options.

The Fp 30 option was built in a separate enclosure which incorporated a bottom cover of its own. As I recall it slightly increased the height of the radio.

The part number of the bottom case/cover is RA0397800. You can see this from the service manual (http://www.iw2nmx.it/Yaesu/FT-897/FT-897%20Service%20Manual.pdf ).

I found one source although it is in the UK. Maybe worth a call to Yaesu USA.
