Re: FT-857D Discontinued By Yaesu - Was a Great Run

Re: FT-857D Discontinued By Yaesu - Was a Great Run
I would love to see a FT891 with 2m and 70cm added. Not sure it is going to happen, though. The 891 is an excellent HF/6m radio. Wish Yaesu would fix the software bug where the noise reduction turns
