Yaesu's popular FT-857 and FT-897 transceivers are wonders of compact efficiency. Maybe too efficiently compact for some of us. They are so compact, that it makes reading the built-in meter just plain hard! Add the fact that many of us feel a REAL meter should have a live needle that bounces around, and you'll understand why LDG designed the FT-Meter.

The LDG FT-Meter is a low-cost solution to all your FT metering needs, that plugs right into the little-known meter jack on the bottom of either of these two radios. It presents a crisp, highly readable 2.5" meter face with calibrated scales for signal strength and discriminator reading on receive, and power output, SWR, modulation, ALC action and supply voltage on transmit. Each function is selectable from the radio's menu. Easily visible from anywhere on your desk or dash, the FT-Meter is illuminated by any external 12 vDC source.
