Thank you for your video and explanation on getting the FT891 to work with FT8. I am wondering how to get it out of this mode to work with CW or SSB. With all the steps shown, which ones need to be changed back. This is why I sold my FT991A because it was tough to do Winlink and FT* and then switch back to SSB and CW.
Press and hold the band button again to switch modes. Once switched the only other thing that needs to be changed back is the RF Power. So go to your menu and it’s 16-3 I think. Then turn your power back up.
You know, I consider myself a smart person, but I can not get this dr891 to work. I have no audio input into vara hf. I have checked every setting, swapped cables. I am at a total loss. Can you share your radio settings?

Great video! I'm installing mine next week. Thanks, pal.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I am. I went out yesterday and did my first digital POTA activation! Thanks for watching.
