Re: FT-857D Discontinued By Yaesu - Was a Great Run
The ARRL in their review of the FT-891 didn't seem to be impressed, and Sherwood's testing shows the RMDR to be 70.? Maybe the "HEAD BANGERS" prefer VHF/UHF and a radio that isn't in the lower range

Re: FT-857D Discontinued By Yaesu - Was a Great Run
I am going to list my FT-857, not the D model but does have the DSP module in it. Widebanded so 60 meters is accessible. The only issue is low RF output. It is not the 20 watt ¡°brown¡± wire
