That's in the same ballpark as their famous, yet older FT-450D, but the new FT-891 comes with extensive 32-bit digital noise reduction technology improvements found in their higher-end radios. At the moment, you can get them for about $630-$680, shipped. That is the only reason I can see for the price being so low. I'm running under the assumption that Yaesu is just not selling a lot of FT-891's. I hope this exhaustive commentary proves useful. Digital mode and CW operators will want to seek more information elsewhere, as I am almost entirely an HF SSB guy. This review will cover every negative of the FT-891 I have noticed, but keep in mind that I feel it's a great value, and the most performance you're going to find at this price-point. It can also function as a strong portable option, provided you bring enough battery, and maybe a voltage meter. Although not without its quirks, depending on how you want to use it, the Yaesu FT-891 is actually a very impressive small desktop rig for those with limited space. In this article, I write about what I believe to be an incredible sleeper deal on a truly great rig, for the price.
