super heureux de cet achat (juin 2025)
je vous suggère d’éviter Purolator car il ne livre pas dans les immeubles (il faut aller chercher le colis à un point d’accès) et ça leur a pris 5 jours pour la région de Montréal.. la radio.. elle fonctionne à merveille, j’ai son ancêtre le FT-890AT et maintenant ce FT-891 qui est tellement mieux et fini de mettre les mains autour de l’affichage à l’extérieur!!.. je ne vois aucun rival portable capable de 100w avec un boîtier (métallique) costaud et facile à lire sous le soleil.. aussi, le haut-parleur est surprenant car assez puissant.. et puisque mon ma clef CW Paddle (Putikeeg) a une base aimantée, elle tient super bien sur la radio.. je regrette seulement d’avoir attendu longtemps puisque cette radio est unique en son genre!! note: le DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) est tellement efficace que je l’utilise pratiquement tout le temps, le bruit de fond tombe à presque ZÉRO et c’est génial car le bruit de fond m’épuisait rapidement..

Very Happy
I bought this rig a couple of years ago, and have worked the world on CW, SSB and Digital modes. I was hesitant to buy it initially, because of its reputation as a "mobile " rig. However, I honestly have to say that I'm very happy using it as my primary rig at home in my shack. At first, I found the internal menu system to be rather daunting. However, I found excellent help within the extended Yaesu community online and on YouTube. Also, I purchased the Ham Radio Deluxe program suite, meaning I can control many of the rig's settings with a click of the mouse on my computer. My 891 now has the feel of a more expensive rig at a very affordable price. I heartily recommend this rig. You simply cannot get any better value for your money.

Awesome Radio
This is a strange one as Yaesu did not put the vhf/uhf bands on this. Well, here's the thing - Yaesu wanted a kick ass Hf mobile radio that has the latest DSP chips, some advanced CW features and even a speech compressor and simple bandscope (it actually works ok) for those wanting to work HF mobile. However, this is an awesome QRP and field radio as it can go on from 5 watts to 100 watts easily. It does draw 1 amp not 2 A. I have made hundreds of contacts with this rig as a base, mobile and field radio. I would use a dipole to avoid the external tuner if not get the LDG brand but I use an inverted V dipole or a 9:1 antenna. I get excellent audio reports and they think I am on a bigger 991 or ftd3000. I got extra brackets and have a Pelican Box this fits into and I can just grab and go with a lightweight MFJ power supply and be up at Wasaga beach working DX on the picnic table with a dipole hanging off the trees.
