Hi Eric, the british keypad will give you i think twenty memories, for the 
817, and it might work with the 703 as well, but I've never heard anything 
about that.  But the brit's keypad, as I understand it ___will not give you 
a cw read out, whereas the hansen keypad will, on the yaesu radios.  Give me 
a shout at home after a while if you wish, I'm not at work this day, but 
will be back at work mon-thur-2-11pm and Fri7A-4P this week. dd.
