Paul,
I bought an 897 and returned it after 2 days. I did not try to use it for
satellites, but it was the worst rig I have ever used on HF. The list of
deficiencies was endless. It's just not a user friendly piece of gear at
all, and, with all the manipulations you need to make whicle using the
birds, that is a prime consideration.
Good luck with your choice.
73,
Tony, N2UN
