D version offers included DSP as well as the 60m band with no hacks or mods; channels are all set for you and ready to go. Dunno how they do the EU version as the UK does have 60m privileges...i'd guess that it'd be the same

The only difference that I can think of, off of the top of my head, in the European version of the 857D compared to the 857 is that DSP is standard instead of an optional extra. The 60m band is not standard in it as we have to apply for a special Notice Of Variation to our license for it over here.

Also, '116sd019', please don't put an FT857D onto 'freeband', at least get an amateur radio license. You're in Turkey I think, shouldn't be too hard for you.
