Yaesu FT891 - any good?

Post by MiXiN »

I'm thinking about getting one of these as they're competitively priced & there's not much else in its category.

For anyone who's owned one, or still has one, are they reliable, and are there any problems I should be made aware of?

Also, in a few places, I've read that there's a TX delay when on FM. IE - when pressing the PTT there's a 1 to 2 second delay before the rig transmits. Has anybody encountered this, & has it been fixed with a firmware revision or workaround?
