Yaesu FT 891 Install And First Contact

If you are thinking of adding a new radio to your shack or mobile check out
this video on the new Yaesu FT-891! It is my opinion that you cant go wrong
with the FT-891. I found it easy to set up, has great sound. Yaesu has even
enlarged the display from what was on the FT-857D! The FT-891 is replacing
my FT-857D in my mobile.
