I am getting better signal reports from people, after tweaking the stock MH-31 mic of the FT-891
In short, the 7300 will almost always get "clean audio" reports, because ICOM forces aggressive ALC on you, but the FT-891 is capable of decent audio also, and a louder perceived signal, if you adjust it right

It can also function as a strong SSB portable option, provided you bring enough battery, and maybe a voltage meter, if you feel you need one

The FT-891 can transmit at 5w, but as you'll see from statistics, you may as well be transmitting at 10w, or 15w, because you're really not saving much by running QRP.Getting off track here -- I recently purchased an incredible Lifepo4 12.8v, 10Ah battery with massive 20amp current draw, and I'm in portable heaven with this rig

Phase noise may/may not bother others above 50w output -- see ARRL test report and radioaficion link at bottom.
Excellent power output, and strong cooling (see cons)5

Better on Rx than ICOM 7300?I will say this without any bias -- I am shocked that the Yaesu DSP is easier to use, and in my opinion, better than that of my highly-touted Icom 7300
Remembering Jerry's claim, I switched the antenna over to the FT-891, added a DSP level of 1, a little RF gain, and a slight shift, and -- boom

These settings ONLY work if you are using compression (PRC highlighted):Next, we're looking at the longform
At my city noise levels, I find myself preferring the FT-891's noise reduction capabilities over the darling 7300, because whatever algorithm Yaesu uses is just far better

There isn't a lot of difference, but the 2nd choice adds a bit more bass and clarity for those rag chews with better machines on the other end
I had to enter the menus and roll off the lows down below 300hz, and add a fair bit of emphasis to the mids and highs

If small-footprint desktop operation is your interest, this is one cheap deal for a rig
For sure this is an excellent radio and a very good deal.
No to mention, the FT-891 includes a 3k roofing filter, which helps a great deal, in noisy environments
The full, updated review is listed below, followed by MIC settings for the hand mic:In this article, I write about what I believe to be an incredible sleeper deal on a truly great rig, for the price

In fact, it has the best receiver of any portable or mobile radio I've ever had
Some will want to tear this radio apart, because it's not the second coming of the FT-857, or because some test lab stats aren't absolute perfection, but in my experience, this radio is an absolute steal
I have seen online comments about these tests wrongly quoted by operators, who said the ARRL does not recommend the FT-891 as a desktop radio, which is untrue
True, you're giving up VHF/UHF, but we're living in a time when capable Chinese radios are $25,
For sure this is an excellent radio and a very good deal.
