Yaesu ft-850


I currently use Yaesu ft-850. It is japanese version of ft-890. This is a good transceiver for cw with excellent qsk. There is no narrow cw filter as standart. I installed Inrad filters 2,1 khz and 500 herz.


Pros:

  • Excellent, noiseless qsk;
  • Clear reception;

Cons:

  • Transceiver has a good selectivity for cw with optional filters only;
  • Over 20 years old!
