1IntroductionThis manual provides technical information necessary for servicing the FT-897/D HF/VHF/UHF ALL MODE Trans-ceiver.Servicing this equipment requires expertise in handling surface-mount chip components. Attempts by non-qualifiedpersons to service this equipment may result in permanent damage not covered by the warranty, and may be illegal in somecountries.Two PCB layout diagrams are provided for each double-sided circuit board in the Transceiver. Each side of is referred toby the type of the majority of components installed on that side (“leaded” or “chip-only”). In most cases one side has onlychip components, and the other has either a mixture of both chip and leaded components (trimmers, coils, electrolyticcapacitors, ICs, etc.), or leaded components only.While we believe the technical information in this manual to be correct, VERTEX STANDARD assumes no liability fordamage that may occur as a result of typographical or other errors that may be present.
