Take 100W of HF capability wherever you operate

The Yaesu FT-891 delivers full-power HF and 50MHz operation in a rugged, compact transceiver designed for operators who need excellent performance without the size of a traditional base-station radio.

Whether installed in a vehicle, carried to a portable operating location or used as a compact home station, the FT-891 provides the flexibility of SSB, CW, AM and FM operation. Its carefully engineered receiver, powerful DSP and high-stability oscillator system help maintain strong performance under demanding band conditions.

At approximately 1.9kg and measuring just 155 x 52 x 218mm without projecting controls, it is particularly well suited to space-conscious amateur-radio installations.

Everything you need for serious HF operating

Excellent reception starts with the RF front end

The FT-891 uses a triple-conversion superheterodyne receiver for SSB, CW and AM operation. A standard 3kHz roofing filter, high-stability TCXO and carefully balanced receiver circuit help deliver the performance expected from a dedicated Yaesu HF transceiver.

The receiver design is supported by high-speed digital signal processing, offering effective interference management when the amateur bands become crowded or noisy.

Hear the signal. Reduce the interference.

The FT-891 incorporates a powerful 32-bit floating-point DSP system rated at up to 3000 MIPS. Its filtering functions allow operators to shape the received signal and reduce unwanted noise during HF and 50MHz operation.

Designed around the way operators actually use a radio

Despite its compact dimensions, the FT-891 offers a substantial 41mm main tuning dial with adjustable torque, a large dot-matrix LCD and a combination of intuitive controls for efficient operation.

Add the FC-50 automatic antenna tuner

The FT-891 does not contain a built-in automatic antenna tuner. For operators who need automatic antenna matching, Yaesu offers the optional FC-50, a compact microprocessor-controlled tuner specifically designed for the FT-891.

The FC-50 couples directly to the transceiver and connects through the dedicated TUN/LIN interface. Its matching-memory system can recall previously established tuning settings, saving time when changing frequencies.

Mobile HF made easier with the ATAS-120A

The FT-891 supports Yaesu's Active Tuning Antenna System, including the optional ATAS-120A and ATAS-25 antennas. Compatible ATAS operation allows the transceiver to control antenna adjustment directly, helping simplify mobile and transportable antenna setups.

The ATAS-120A provides a practical option for operators who want an electrically adjustable antenna instead of manually changing coils or taps between supported bands. Correct vehicle mounting, grounding and antenna installation remain important for achieving good performance.

The ATAS-120A requires a suitable mount and installation. Neither the ATAS-120A nor the FC-50 is included as standard.

USB CAT control and flexible digital operation

The FT-891 features a native USB connection for computer control through a virtual serial port. Compatible software can control frequency, operating mode and other supported transceiver functions using CAT commands.

Computer-based digital modes such as FT8, FT4, PSK31 and RTTY are possible with suitable software and audio/PTT connections. For digital modes requiring sound-card audio, an appropriate external interface or audio cabling is needed.

Big HF capability. Small installation footprint.

Measuring just 155 x 52 x 218mm without projecting controls, the FT-891 is easy to accommodate in vehicles, compact operating desks and transportable radio systems. The detachable front panel provides added installation flexibility.

The die-cast chassis incorporates a substantial heat-transfer structure and two thermostatically controlled internal cooling fans, helping manage temperature during demanding transmitting sessions.

What's included?

The FC-50 automatic antenna tuner, ATAS-120A antenna, external 13.8V DC power supply, coaxial cable and digital-mode sound-card interface are not included.
