Has anyone used the FT891 or FT991 in contest conditions? I assume they are using the same roofing filter, and am interested in whether the roofing filter really make a large improvement in receive,

Does anyone on the list know which Yaesu models use RF based speech compression instead of AF compression? I know the FT990 and FT1000D models do. 73 John AF5CC ______________________________________
I picked up a Yaesu FT950 recently and must say that it is certainly a nice rig. Great receiver and the DSP really ads to it. I bought it kind of thinking it would give me a good idea as to what the

I was making a rather serious (given my small antennas) effort today in the Illinois QSO Party and had to deal with this intermittent noise I have here for pretty much the entire contest. It is a ras

In terms of the tuner mod, do you know if it really increases the tuner's matching range, or does it just chance the SWR foldback circuit so your rig won't cut back the power as aggressively into a m
I am wonder what are the best software programs to use for computer control of the FT891? Is there something that allows for use of the CW and voice keyer memories? 73 John AF5CC ____________________
