Good morning Eric,
Although I used to own an 817, I sold it and replaced it with the FT-857 which, for the money, is much more powerful and flexible. My scripts should perform reasonably well with the 817 although, never having run them with that rig, and given some differences between the 817 and 857-897, there might be problems.
Yes, the Radio Mate is a very handy piece of equipment for any of the FT 8xx rigs. The Commander program is also very well-written, requiring virtually no scripting at all.
Good luck.
I'll convey your regards to Kathy who now lives with her husband in Boston.
Cheers,
Jerry VE3QSO

Hi Jerry,
I am considering purchasing a Yaesu FT817ND.
I already have two keypads one British and One made in the USA that give
access to frequency, mode etc.
The British made Radio mate will even let you enter 20 memories into the
radio in banks of ten.
Which program works well to give access to that radio?
I already have a copy of Simon Brown's commander software for the 817.
I use Jaws on my computer.
Please pass along my regards to your wofe the ex Cathy Roach for me.
We went to school at Perkins in the 1960s together.
I think VE3QSO is a cool call sign.
73,
Eric
