Hi Steve, nice vid. Could you do a demo on how to set the 890 up for 10 and 6 meter FM repeater use ? The owners manual is not that clear on this mode of operation. 73 de Ed - W1QD
Does anyone but me see the Meter is in SWR mode and peaking over 3:1??? Must have really rugged finals. Kind of confused, 2 meters shown, analog is showing over 3:1 and the bar-graph is barely moving????? ALC being indicated by the top bar-graph meter.
I never had the 101 but can say that it is $600 cheaper than the 890 and the 101 is easily available while the 890 is not. From what I've heard and seen I think the 890 might be my preference but I'm a bit prejudiced.
hi Steve...im LU8ATK FROM Argentina country...sorry my english....please try a mini loop antena in Malaquita Sdr. Am broadcast my be work well with mini loop.... simple make a 2 turn 6cm diameter and....second loop coil 24cm diameter and 6 turns with one capacitor variable....sorry my english....i think buy one malaquita
@@davidroygodden it sure does...I have a good friend with a K4 and it's already going back for service..ironically, he waited two years for it to be delivered
Love my 890...have both the 590sg and 890...impeccable audio and great on CW
Is there a big RX difference between 890 and 590er ? I have a 590SG also. Well, the 890 will blow up my Ham-Radio budget.
CUL best 73 as Mark.
@@yaesuicomkenwood I do not notice any difference....if there is, it's only noticeable from a Sherwood test
I cant CW yet , But i havre both rigs also . The 890 got here on feb 15th . There may be a learning curve .
Good pick. I love mine. Great performer and easy on the eyes too!
Great radio. Happy 4th of July Steve. 73 Joe
TS-890S one of the best you can get.
How does this compare to the Elecraft K4?
Excellent video. N0TR / Tom
How far can go.Thank you
Can the meter be selected as flat bars rather than an analogue meter clone?
yes
is it a CB or HAM radio.
what license is needed to use this transceiver?
See this link for info. www.arrl.org/getting-licensed
@@n4lq thank you!
You don't need a license to OWN the transceiver... or operate it. You need a license to Transmit.
Superb, n happy 4th
The MC-60 had a problem with RF getting into its preamp. I have not had any such problems.

It's just you I suppose. The SWR shows 1:1. Above that is the ALC. I think that's what you're seeing.
Steve has a new toy. Do you like it better than the ic7610
Of course!
What amp are you using?
I think I was using a KPA-500 if anything.
Hi Steve if 890 vs. 101 went head to head who wins? Regards

@@n4lq You would prefer the 890 even though you would be missing out on the SDR options?? Regards
@@lwlw779 What SDR options?
@@n4lq Sorry typo... I was asking would you still prefer 890s over a SDR transceiver? Such as 7610 or 101D

Selling the 890 already? K4 come in I hope.
K4 has serious software problems
good luck

Hi Steve , your not using a D-104 Mic you mention in this video, Thats ok, lol. MC-60 mic.
I don't know if I'm the only one but I hate touch screens!! 🤢🤢🤢
This is not a touch screen though..... You push the little buttons around the screen.
Nice to know I'm not the only one. Presently working on eliminating or reducing touch screens from my life. That includes YT & handphone
