Keypad on FT817 and FT897

Thanks to one brave keypad owner I can now confirm that it works on FT-897 too.

I have composed a firmware with common functions to 817, 857 and 897 that is available on request. Key/function assignments are as follows:

• A VFO A/B
• B VFO A=B
• C SPLIT ON/OFF
• D MANUAL TUNE
• # Onboard Memories
• * Mode change
• 0 direct dial
• 1 direct dial
• 3 Lazy PTT
• 4 direct dial
• 6 RIT
• 7 Repeater +/-/no
• 9 LOCK

Firmwares with FT817 proprietary controls work on 857/897 too, but you should limit your keypresses to functions that are common across the three models.
