Les,
I use 2 meter IFs for both up and downlinks. However, I added a 2 meter to 10 meter converter on the downlink, which means you are receiving using the HF modules. 6 meters will also work, as it is also considered HF in the FT-847. By choosing the LO xtals properly, the TX is in the 144-145 MHz range, and the 2 meter RX is in the 145-146 MHz range. However, I did some testing and could operate with the IFs within a few kHz.
