I bought a new Yaesu FT-891 and paired it up with the eBay special BM-800 mic. The mic was 30.00 with all accessories and after setting the radio eq to settings found online I am told the radio sounds great and everyone wants to know what I am using. The radio also sounds good on AM as well. With the stock I was told it sounded ok but not loud . Not going for that high power truckerized punch. Just good sound quality. I think I found a keeper.. I also bought a mic cable on eBay to connect the mic. It came with a push button but I am using a Heil foot switch.
