The 891 has a bit of a learning curve, so this video is very helpful.

Good info to know. Thanks for posting. The FT-891 is an amazingly versatile little radio. Every HAM should have one. I’ll never part with mine. 73!

New Comment: Do you have a listing of your preferred CW settings? I ask because I seem too have gotten a setting wrong on 15m. When I am keying the TX is now different from the RX. I have checked that the SPL is off. I am thinking of a FACTORY RESET. That's why I'm asking about a "master" setting list.

I was always thinking about doing this .. And then I realize how many menu settings there are. I want to make a spreadsheet. What frequency difference are you seeing? And is your Clarifier setting at zero?

CW has become my favorite mode. Thank you for this video! I had been operating FT8 for a few minutes, and when returning to CW I was unable to send. I found out that the Scope had been enabled. Must have been a mistake. Do you know why the scope would have disabled the CW function? As soon as the Scope was disabled the CW returned. I like your 23 WPM! I have moved from 15 to 17 WPM. It'll take a little while, but this setting is still so new that it sounds like greased lightning. vy 73 de David AE4LH

I think the audio mutes with the scope on. Check out PG 36 in the manual. Thanks for watching!

I had a conversation with a long time CW op about semi-brk and full QSK. I like full brk because I like to know when someone is keying or tuning on my signal but I set it to semi thinking it's better not to beat up the keying relays. He made a great point about ragchew. When you're having a ragchew on SSB or FM it's a back and forth conversation. You're not gonna say or ask 5-10 things at a time and say BTU. With CW he does the same. He's been on CW long enough to do without the formalities of YOU de ME KN in a ragchew. Is this the way it should be done? I don't know but it's HIS way and I like it. 73

How do you do a menu change to get into CWL Mode on 40 meters CW. I can't transmit on 40 meter CW and I believe this may be the problem? Thanks!

There is an item in the menu system for that setting but I don't remember what it is. I don't think that would be your your issue for not being able to transmit though..

Nice vid as always! The mount you use looks like a 3D print, do you have the .stl files posted online anywhere?
