Jason, N0BOY, has an improved design of his Anderson Powerpole conversion to the Yaesu FT-891 transceiver. I take you step by step through the process on how you can change the connector yourself.

I think it's great how many helpful people there is in YouTube. You can learn anything.

I’ll save this video for a couple years as I’ve just purchased mine ❤😂

I did a similar kit install a few weeks ago. I highly recommend this mod for those that powerpole the world! 73 and thanks for the video!

I made this change yesterday. It came quickly, I was surprised actually. The install was easy, no big deal. Great mod, thanks. John WA2OUZ

What an excellent mod. One hopes manufacturers will take note (along with type C USB connectors).

Great video, Michael!
I bought the kit from Jason for my 891 last summer. Extremely happy with it. Mine is holding up great so far. Powepole the world!

Michael, thank you for sharing and it looks easy enough to do the conversion on the FT-891.

Great mod and video. I changed mine out a couple of months ago and love it. So much better than the factory connector.

Bought the ft-891, yesterday. Wanted one for a few years. Was building the ham shack first. Definitely a learning curve

[hamradiobasics]

Great video Michael ! Just got my kit from Jason. By far one of the best an easiest mods you can do to your FT-891 !

I changed to the Powerpole Adapter about 2 months ago and I love it.

[Sonicgott]

This video is going in my favorites! The conversion is super easy. :-)

I have the 891 and really like using it. Great rig. Power pole upgrade looks worth doing.
Thank for link.

Im printing my parts now. Im using ASA filament since I have plenty on hand and its more heat and UV resistant than PETG. I really wish someone would design something similar for the 991a! Thanks for the vid and look forward to working you on another POTA activation soon! 73 KG9PN

Doing mine now. Off to Ace Hardware this morning. Great video again Michael!

[MoonMan]

I enjoy all of your videos, and this one gave me the confidence to make the modification. I purchased just the plastic pieces and the screw and built the rest. It works great!

I love your POTA adventures (except when you cook, because that makes me hungry).

[jolebole-yt]

Excellent mod. I had a little trouble to figure out the proper power pole position at first, but it all worked out perfectly at the end!👍🏻

This…. Looks a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. Might need to crack mine open
