I own a G90, and really enjoy the rig.? ?The 20 watts seems to get out well, and audio reports are positive.? I own a number of different rigs including a FT891, 991A, and FTdx10.? ?The receive capability of the G90 does not reach the level of the FTdx10, but clearly beats the FT891 and FT991A.?

I own a number of 5-watt radios, and I clearly feel the impact of the reduce power with those radios.? However, with the G90's 20 watts, I don't feel that I am missing out on much.? This is obviously subjective, but the 20 watts seems to be a sweet spot for a portable radio, balancing power need and consumption with the ability to be heard.

There is one aspect that I would have liked to have known before I purchased mine.? The radio does not work great in a RF crowded environment.? I do POTA activations with two other gentlemen.? ?We work 20, 15 and 10m and separate our antennas by 50 to 100 yards.? Even with the use of a band pass filter, I get interference from one of my partners when I use the G90.? However, the FT891 works without issues in the same setup.??

I enjoy the G90 so much so that it is my go-to rig when I go out solo.? However, I fall back to the FT891 when I have friends join me in the parks.??
