just my opinion here,,, the "little Wil" Wilson antenna you have isn't much of an antenna at all,,, get yourself a Wilson 1000 or 5000 and you will see night and day difference,, but the Wilson line isn't much for lasting quality these days,,, if you want an antenna to last for years and years...

I picked up one of these a while back and it has helped me find the source of noise from power poles several times , it will receive all the hf bands including 11m and does ssb, its also very handy for monitoring and adjusting audio from your other hf rigs with a good set of headphones County...

don't know who made it for Montgomery wards but I wish I had it still also,,,, my mother-in-law does some estate sales and selling on e-bay, she had one a couple years ago in like new condition and she had it on e-bay for sale, she didn't even know I was interested in it, so I put a bid on it...

Montgomery ward 702 40 channel, dads cb that I moved into my room through highschool (late 80's to early 90's)with a fiberglass whip outside my bedroom window

yes it will work, you will need to get the audio signal into the wireless mic base, most just use the external speaker jack. search on youtube many people have done it for use on other radios

tune for the most static on receive ,, gets you close for transmit also

The new firmware update must be used with the new DSP and Panel display update, all 3 are in the .zip file go to yaesu.com, then click on products, then hf transceivers, then arrow over to the ft-891 and click on it,, then click on files , then go down to FT-891 all current firmware including...

the dsp still turns off when I change bands so no fix there with the updates,, sounds like you have a poor connection somewhere ,,, I have no problem just pressing the tune button anytime, any band and the antenna will auto tune

New updates came out yesterday for firmware, dsp , and panel display,, going to update mine lunch time,, hopefully the dsp bug is fixed

New firmware updates out!! V1.07

that is a great deal!! i have been using the stock mic and i haven't touched the factory default settings and have been getting good audio reports, also just talked to Australia this morning on my drive into work on 20m,, what a way to start the day!!

receive and transmit audio are fine on mine, I'm using the icom hm-36 mic with mine

anyone else get one of these together yet?? im still amazed at this little qrp 40m radio, bored last evening so I put it on the desk and powered it up hooked to the 40m dipole that's in the back yard only about 15-18 feet off the ground, fed with 300ohm tv twin lead and a Johnson matchbox, no...

the latest release was 3 months ago V1.06, maybe the next one will have the fixes in it,, my radio came with version 1.03 and going to v1.06 fixed a couple things but not the DNR(dsp) issue that you have to re-turn it on every time you change bands

2 months now with mine in the mobile, I really like the radio, it has a few bugs that should be worked out in an upcoming firmware update, it is perfect size for a mobile unit and easy to use while going down the road and the DNR(DSP) really works good, just have to turn the DNR back on evey...

what are you using for coax, I have heard the atas is sensitive to bad or poor coax connections,, I'm using LMR-240 coax with soldered on pl259's,, and I have been tuning it around the bands everyday without any issues. also I installed a whip 12" longer than what was on the atas120A and it...

just saying if your testing into an antenna that isn't a perfect 1.1:1 50ohm then the meter results can be way off

are you testing into a dummy load or your antenna?

I don't know how you would mount a vertical above a gizmotchy beam, the gizmotchy has vertical elements and the mast going up the center for the gainmaster would mess with the gizmotchy 2 element gizmotchy: your post title states "Gainmaster on top of Gizmotchy beam" the pics you posted...

radio is working fine, antenna is also working good, its nice to just toch the tune button and be done when changing bands one thing that is annoying about the radio, it has a very nice dsp(DNR) noise reduction option that works great but every time you change bands or from vfo to memory...
