Hi there Colin,
Yes, as far as I'm aware the 847 is the only rig manufactured by Yaesu which
is capable of taking a speech synthesizer for a number of years. I would
have loved the option for my 1000MP. I've often wondered why the 847 seems
to be unique in this respect.
I was hoping the successor to the 1000mp
(the ft-2000mp) might have the option of speech output,but alas from what
I've read it looks unlikely.
Even the very top-end ftdx9000 lacks provision for a speech chip, so yet
again Yaesu have neglected to give any consideration to accessibility. It's
unfortunate as Yaesu HF rx performance is excellent.
Cheers,
Tim.
