Sorry for the terrible audio issues. Tried some new things out, and it turned out bad.
My honest take of the Yaesu FT-891 after a year with it. It's an awesome radio for it's small form factor with high power output, but how does it measure up in 2023? Is this radio good as a base station, or as a POTA/SOTA activator. We talk about all of it in this video.
