Passed my extra exam on Saturday morning. The 891 dose look like a really nice radio.

Very informative video. Just purchased an FT-891! So, I am watching some YouTube vids to get a jump on operations. This video very was helpful. Tnx...73!

10:03 Correct me if I'm wrong but 08-11 Data Out Level is the Audio output level for the USB interface to your PC and 16-03 HF Power is where you set the transmit wattage.

Thanks Paul. I have too much studying to do. Glad your mom is getting better. Merry Christmas!

[c.hundley]

I love this radio. Best radio since the 706.

[bblod]

So many functions, I prefer simplicity, but, thank you for the tour. Glad your mom is home. Have a great weekend.

[georgechambers]

I'm sure glad Mom is home now, I know it's a relief. Happy Christmas and Merry Holidays to you and the family!

[NelsonSilvaFilho]

I'am happy your mom is at home again!!! We will keep her in our prayers. 73 de PU5NSF - Nelson

Can the 891 do digital in/out through the front headphone jack to a regular USB sound card, instead of using the rear digital port?

[MrPenguin]

Yeah, so happy your mom is home. Continued prayers and blessings to you and your mom. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. 😊😀😃

Great info, thanks! I also have the 891 and am just learning how to use it. Can you go over the interconnects to get it up and running in the digital modes? For example, I know that the IC-7300 has a built-in sound card, so you only need to use a USB cable from the radio to the computer. But how does that work on the FT-891? Anyway, always great info, thanks!

[NeonWanderer]

BEWARE: "Data-Out-Level" is NOT the output Power! The putput power settings are starting at 16-01 to 16-06

I'm a new Tech, now studying for the general. This is a great rig to grow into as you progress in Ham Radio. I started playing with the features to familiarize myself with the rig, before I got licensed and I'm excited to now get on the air with it. 73`s!

Nice radio. Enjoyed the review. 73 Paul.

[reidlanham]

I have the 891 and it is a great radio. I haven't gotten into digital with it yet, so I was curious as to what soundcard you are using? Thanks! K8JLW

I bought a 891 and so far, I luv it.... what a awesome little rig, works great on the base antennas and out in the field, plus it has a ton of extras built in and works great with JS8 and HRD in all modes all the way from qrp to 100 watts if needed.

[JosephBCotton]

A "crap ton" of menu items. I like it.

[MikeG-jsjt]

did you run into the 891's issue of the "noise" / clicking/beeping noise from using CAT control over usb?

[matiasramos]

Paul can you make a video about how to make a simple amplifier circuit?

[mumi]

I don't have the REC functions. How do I display them?
