Yaesu FT-891 video

Got the chance to play a bit with the Yaesu FT-891 at Friedrichshafen 2016 Ham Radio expo. The radio is pretty menu-driven, even some of the most important menu options (like ATT or IPO) are hidden behind a few button presses.

The expected price for the FT-891 would be around EUR 600, which is suprisingly low; the way Yaesu looks at it is FT-891 + FC-50 tuner costs around the same as a FT-450D.
