FT-891 HF+50Mhz ALL MODE MOBILE TRANSCEIVER

Yaesu is showing the FT-891 at Dayton this weekend, together with the new FC-50 tuner. Architecture is based on the FT-991, but without VHF/UHF. The Yaesu FT-891 is the smallest at lightest 100W HF transceiver ever built, at 155x52x218mm and 1.9Kg. Unfortunately the 2A current draw on standby makes it unsuited for truly portable operations. According to the rise of SDR technology we would also expect something like that from YAESU. Plucked version of FT991 without VHF/UHF might be successful only at an extremely low price.

XPole antennas have been developed for 6 and 2m bands for EME systems. The latest achievement is the 28-elements xpole EME tropo antenna for 144MHz with an superior G/T ratio...

Rig Expert measuring equipment

Portable hand-held battery-powered graphical antnna analyzers allow measurements directly at the antenna system. The graphical presentation the effects of tuning and adjusting the antenna is visible immediately. The ease of operation allows for comfortable measurements such as SWR, reflection, impedance, cable fault position, C & L of reactive loads and many more.

With the memory function we can quickly compare different antennas (not available in all models). We can transfer measured data via USB port to a computer. Sotware for data transfer for Windows (32 and 64-Bit) is available as free download. Also can use USB port for firmware update.

Rig Expert® graphical antenna analysers AA-30, AA-54, AA-170, AA-600, AA-1400 are now available in HAMtech online store.
