FT-857/897 Programmer 4.0

FT-857/897 Programmer is a utility for configuring and managing Yaesu FT-857 and FT-897 amateur radio transceivers from your computer. It streamlines setup by letting you read and write the radio’s memories and menu options, build organized channel lists for HF/VHF/UHF, and quickly adjust operating parameters without drilling through on-radio menus.

Key capabilities:

• Create, edit, and organize memory channels and banks
• Set repeater offsets, CTCSS/DCS tones, step sizes, power levels, and scan options
• Configure filters, menu settings, and CAT-related options
• Bulk edit, sort, search, and copy/paste entries to speed up programming
• Import and export channel lists (e.g., CSV) for backup, sharing, or cloning to another radio
• Validate entries and flag duplicates to reduce programming errors
• Print or export reference lists for field use

A compatible serial/USB programming cable is required. Connect the radio, place it in the appropriate clone/program mode, and use the software to read the current configuration, make changes, and write them back. Ideal for backing up a radio, migrating settings between units, preparing trip or contest profiles, and keeping complex memory layouts organized.
