After testing an FT-991 in the lab and on the air, I can conclude that it is a very pleasant radio to operate. It is well-constructed and nicely engineered, has a very reasonable learning curve for a user not accustomed to Yaesu HF transceivers, and handles itself very well for a radio in its price category.

4 years agoThe new Yaesu FT-991 - finally, a replacement for the FT-857?
The FT-991 Yaesu's newest HF/VHF/UHF all-mode radio. Built-in ATU and roofing filters standard. No pricing information yet. It looks pretty small but with a nice big display. It could make a good shack-in-a-box for a small station, a formidable mobile setup, or you could even use it portable in the field. If it has satellite capability, then this could be a killer radio for working the linear transponder satellites.
I'm not sure how I feel about Yaesu's recent trend to 'touchscreen ALL the radios!' As someone who likes to operate portable, it definitely makes it feel less rugged.
