Hi, I recently sold my Yaesu FT-897 because my K2 replace it for sure... :-)
I was using this rig for outdoor activity. I only sold the rig and the tuner, but kept the brand new batteries and charger.... for another good usage...
I now use my "old" new FT-897 batteries that give 13.2V and 4500 mAh with universal Anderson Power Product connectors, so this way I can switch easy between them. Also, I can use batterie to power up my MFJ 259B antenna analyzer with my Buddipole antenna for tuning.

It will do the job for now until I build the "real" batterie kit for the K2, that is for sure, more convenient to use.
