ZS6DJM’s modified FT897 including 70MHz transverter

I was just chatting to Dave, G4AQK on 70MHz and he mentioned that he’d seen a video on YouTube showing how ZS6DJM had modified an FT897 to include a Spectrum 70MHz transverter.

Interesting! The transverter is located in the battery compartment and a switch has been added to the top of the rig to switch the transverter on and off. Very neat
