Hello, great video I didn’t want to ask I just bought this radio and attached an external speaker which is amplified 12 W on my vehicle. I noticed that when I Lower the volume the radio tends to mute itself, unless I raise the Volume Feels like it won’t allow me to Listen if the colume is very low

It would be nice if you could demonstrate with an SSB signal. EQ is for TX audio. Thanks for the video 73.

Putting it on an AM broadcast station was a waste of time.

[@bhambhole]

I liked your method of tuning down to broadcast bands to experiment with receive filters.

I have been watching vids on this radio till I'm about tired of watching em and really on the fence of ordering one, I have the ft857d and its got an ssb filter in it and I have to say I love that radio, running the atas 120a as well

For the price, I am extremely happy with mine. Always homebrewed, this is my first entry level modern appliance. Only worked with used older anchors and hybrid txvrs before. If you end up getting one please reply with your thoughts. dit dit

Dude! Clean your radios! They are filthy! I live in a fairly dusty building (about 90 years old) and right on a very busy street, so I get a lot of dust and other particles from the vehicle exhaust collecting on everything. Dusting is a daily job. Once a month, I open up my electronics and use a soft makeup brush and an airbrush compressor, I clean the insides of the equipment so that the collected dust doesn't cause overheating by blocking the cooling vents and the cooling fan (if equipped with one)! The only things that I don't open up are the boxes from the cable company. Never stack radios like that! Heat will be trapped inside the FT-891 and it will overheat! It also blocks the top mounted speaker and causes the receive audio to be degraded! This video was no help at all! The way you jump around without finishing what you are saying and doing is confusing! When you do a short press the Much-Function knob, you enter the settings menu. When you long press the Multi-Function knob, you enter the main menu, not an advanced menu. There is no advanced menu on the FT-891! There is no EQ for receive! All of the EQ settings in the FT-891's main menu are for microphone transmit audio only. Most importantly, download the Advanced Manual (available on the Yaesu website as a free PDF download) and read it. It contains a lot of information left out of the supplied manual for the FT-891!

I’m new to 891, bought it about 6 months ago, bought it used when I received it set it up made a few QSO’s all was good. Recently took it out of box and I have no receive audio, if I put my ear on top of speaker I can faintly hear receive signals. Connected a music player speaker to it still can’t hear it. Any suggestions what I could look at?

[@jfrphoto01]

Try resetting the rig to factory settings using main menu item 17-01 and choose ALL to reset to factory. Any frequencies and other info that you have in memory will be erased so write them down so that you can re-enter the info after reset. If that doesn't work it may be time to get it looked at by a qualified and licensed electronics repair tech, preferably one who is an authorized Yaesu repair tech.

Too bad the DSP settings don’t stay when changing bands. It makes operating the radio a PIA!!

[@therealwolfspidertoo]

I hate that too.

[@fnordist]

Never again a 891, rx audio is not linear at all, even tx is absurd distorted, compared to other brands. Also a hissing audio Output stage, worse than a cb radio.

[@Traveler7450]

You had volume so load I couldn’t hear you. So aggravating that I just stopped watching.
