FT-891 Real IF DSP provides effective and optimized QRM rejection

Excellent Radio for Portable Use

Review by Peter

The Yaesu FT-891 is a compact HF & 50 MHz radio suitable for portable use, or home use with it's built in kickstand. The menu structure takes a bit of getting used to, and the scope is not really that useful. However for a 100w radio it is fantastic value, and perfect for SOTA / POTA etc.

Yaesu ft891 100w portable transceaver

Review by LAURENCE

I purchased this radio because I wanted a quality portable radio,
I've had other makes which just don't cut it in terms of reliability.
This radio has plenty of menus to keep you occupied however it's quite straight forward to plug and play straight out of the box,
The ft991 a works extremely well with the mat30 tuner in fact I prefer it to the yaesu fc50 tuner.
If your looking for a 100 w radio that is portable, compact very well built and from a reliable company then look no further.
The ft891 comes with yaesu's 3 year warranty as standard.

Great wee HF rig

Review by Will - GI6HKE

Got this to use /P or /M on POTA activations. Early results are great - it's a small rig so there can't be buttons for everything - so it means menus and assigning function buttons. Not difficult, we passed exams after all. Has what you need and does it very well - working with AMPRO HF verticals I can get very nice SSB audio reports on 20m and 40m. Really pleased with it.

Fast Delivery!

Review by Oakwellian

Ordered the Yaesu FT-891 transceiver late on Saturday evening. Received my radio early Tuesday morning. The communication chain provided by Moonraker was excellent. Tracked my parcel all the way to my doorstep. Price point is good for this item when compared to their competitors.

The radio is first class. It was purchased for portable use. The performance of this radio is better than was expected. Have used Moonraker before and will use them again!

It's great value for money and a real nice little radio. I found the menu easy to navigate. I'm using it mainly as a base station with the accompanying FC-50 tuner with great results.

Yaesu FT-891

Review by John

I've been using this radio for around a year now and I can say it's very good value for money. I use it for field trips with the accompanying tuner - FC-50. Even when bolted together with the included bracketry it still fits on the dashboard of my little Fiat500. I've been using it mainly for cw and so I set the three buttons on the front for Tun, Zin and Width. The other regularly used options are grouped together in three screens accessible with a short poke at the F button. This is much easier to use than the FT-897 where menu requirements are a bit more complicated to find. One niggle is the RF power setting. You have to do a long press on the F button and go into the main menu then remember which RF power you want to change, then change it. RF power change in one of the aforementioned three screens would have been better making the change a bit quicker in order to get that QRP station.
The display is big with all the required information clearly displayed. One other niggle is the voltage is displayed only at switch on so you'll require a meter if you are concerned about battery charge. My old FT-897 has the voltage top right corner at all times so we know Yaesu can do it.
All in all though a great field radio and very good value for money - especially from Moonraker.

Fantastic Rig

Review by M7TPO

I bought this to replace my IC-705 for portable use.
It's simple to use, has great reception, I got great audio reports from my QSO's.
Ran it off an Ultramax 36 hole 22A battery, and linked it to a Sidewinder vertical antenna 40-10m.
It's a great rig to grow with as will go unto 100W.

Fantastic

Review by AARON

Great radio, well built , does exactly what i need it to, excellent for home or mobile and even field days.

An excellent compact 100W HF rig - ideal for either /P or /M operation

Review by Terry

The FT 891 has proved to be everything I'd hoped for. Yes it is very menu driven but most are one time settings. The transmit audio can be adjusted with or without compression as can the transmit bandwidth and audio equalisation. The DNR on reeceive is great and am enjoying using the rig activating WAB squares etc.

Great value for money

Review by Jim

If you want a small HF radio for portable/mobile use its the best out there. I use a Mat30 Tuner with mine and together they work great.
