  • Excellent quality review! The Yaesu FT-897D is not a comparable unit to the Kenwood TS-590s. A more equivalent unit would be the Yaesu FT-950. I did like this comparison because it shows you reallydo get better performance for the additional cost. You helped push me to get a higher quality unit for my base station. Now I have to decide between the Kenwood TS-590s and the Yaesu FT-950!! thanks for an excellent first time post of you review series I hope you keep on posting such high quality work

  • @M0AOV You can't because they don't exist on the FT897 unless you buy and fit additional filters at £100+ per time and even then, they are fixed unlike the TS590 where it is done in IF DSP as well as the two fitted roofing filters at 2.7kHz and 500Hz.

  • what ever filters or NR you do on the 590 you should do on the 897 because really you wasted over 5 mins showing the 590 in a good light but really you haven't compared the 590 against the 897 because nothing was the same.

    Nice radio though.
