Great radio had mine for getting on for a year now and its one of the best I've used and owned. And believe me, I've had them all but this one is a keeper. Enjoy the radio it's in a class of its own

Awesome rig

Hi Mike. Have you mastered your audio settings yet ? I am having a time !

[@thomashenderson603]

Hi, I thinking of getting the TS890S or FTDX101D any advice you could give? and how hard is it to program PF1 to do ant tune? -Tom K1CXS

[@Weightlossjourney24]

I’m asking myself the same question John Kd5gg

[@vu3mes]

Great Radio, great music sort of Chinese bells..

[@alanyaesu2189]

quite funny really great vid JAPANESE radio but CHINESE music ? WHY?

[@johnratcliffe6438]

Hi, this is the first upload of yours I've seen. Great quality - thank you. Can you please tell me more about your shack? Which antennas are you using with that rig?

[@mike-M0MSN]

John Ratcliffe Hi John, I have a DX Commander and a G5RV (full size) I do not run an extra power. I also have a TS 590. Cheers

[@johnratcliffe6438]

@@mike-M0MSN Very nice. Do you get any drama from neighbours putting up the DX Commander? I'm studying for the Foundation and having a useful antenna that won't cause neighbour drama is stressing me out :)

[@mike-M0MSN]

John Ratcliffe understanding neighbors are alway a good thing but the DXC is a put it up then needed antenna. so an end feed may be more sensible if you need to hide it.

[@johnratcliffe6438]

@@mike-M0MSN I could drop the DXC when not in use? If it's below the level of my fence then that would be OK. The other option I wondered about was installing something in my loft and running the feed coax down the outside wall. I might drop Callum a line and see what he thinks.

[@johnratcliffe6438]

I forgot to add; the TS590SG is probably going to be my first rig. Everything I've read about it has been incredibly reassuring; the receiver seems excellent, and I love the option of being able to add a panadapter as well.

[@W-733_KWX]

Hi Mike, as far as I know, you have both the 590SG and the 890 now. Did you compare the NB of both ? I find my 590SG has an extremely effective noise blanker, even on AM, which my other HAM radios cannot do so well. If your 890 is doing same job as the 590SG, I might consider the upgrade on my side :)

[@mike-M0MSN]

The 890s is much better than the 590SG in my humble opinion.

[@W-733_KWX]

@@mike-M0MSN Thanks Mike!

[@swilson317]

So here's a question. Does it bother you at all that the MULTI/CH and RIT/XIT knobs don't line up vertically. I really don't get why they didn't make those two knobs the same with buttons either on the top or to the left instead of each one being different. They totally mess with my OCD! :-)

[@mike-M0MSN]

No...lol

[@roberttreskin5979]

Damn! Now your messing with my OCD.

BUT! My question is; will you be able to exchange messages with Elon Musk once he has moved to MARS????? (Surely this radio has the MARS capability? 😉) Just kidding.......

[@mike-M0MSN]

Add to do a Mars mod then.
