Some of the TS-890 features that make this the best rig I have ever owned. Rob Sherwood has kindly contacted me to point out that above the TS-890 in his list are a version of the Flex 6700 that is no longer available, an Icom receiver and three versions of the K3 that should only really count once.
That makes the TS-890 3rd and just below a 10K+ GBP Icom 7851.
I've done a follow up video here • TS-890 - Digital Mode ... on Data Modes and the radio config necessary - focus is on WSJT but I try and make it as generic as I can.
The third part to this is here • TS-890 - More Bits and... and covers Split operation, RTTY encode and decode plus IF filter selection and config.
I hope you enjoy! If you do, feel free to buy me a coffee:

Thanks Mark for the very nice video. I got my TS-890S a little over a week ago and I LOVE it! I am enjoying all the nice features that it has for me to discover. It truly is a learning experience. Just what I needed. I also like the SWL program that it has for listeners. I guess there are so many things I like about this radio. The RTTY and CW are very nice and work in my opinion very well. Keep up the great videos, as there are very much appreciated! 73 from Wisconsin, Denny WB9MSM

Thanks for a very helpful series of videos. I did read the owners manual, but I have watched your video several times to get a better understanding of how things work. Thanks

It is really a fantastic rig. I hope it will be my new one. TNX for your excellent review.

Amazing job! Your camera didnt shake like 99% of all Ham videos! I compared the 890, 7610 today, seems the 890 analog has an advantage with close in strong and weak work over the SDRs. Keep up the great vids! A pleasure to watch.

Great video Mark! I have always been a Kenwood fan (have owned TS450, 850, 950SDX, now 590SG, and this model is on my bucket list :)

@dback4430 3 года назад

I also have the sg and am looking at this one

This my first HF TRX review by someone who understands CW, so the assessor will have CW in mind, which is important to me.

Terrific video - well done - great presentation style - nice audio - no fumbling around ----- BTW I love my 890

@steveschaub705 5 лет назад

Very nice video Mark. I've had my eye on this radio since it came out. Many thanks.... de Steve W4PF

@LeoTV1968 5 лет назад

Nice video and interesting to watch. After many years of service my TS-850S has to be replaced. I think this radio will be a worthy successor. 73 Lothar DL9SCT

Very informative video. Thank you.

@VE3NMW 2 года назад

Awesome video, Mark! I was still trying to decide on a Yaesu or Kenwood rig until I watched this video. The 890 is the winner. Thank you!!

@normkirk65 5 лет назад

Very well done ! Thank you ! Really love my TS-890. Would like to see much more of these videos as the transceiver is very capable and complex.

@MarkG0MGX 5 лет назад

Let me know if there is anything specific you would like covered.

@normkirk65 5 лет назад

@@MarkG0MGX Hi Mark. I actually had several questions. Maybe I just missed it in the manual. I was wondering about the maximum size of the USB memory "thumb drive". I was hoping it would be able to accept at least a 32GB or even perhaps a 64 GB thumb drive. I was also wondering if it would accept a wireless ( 2.4Ghz ) keyboard as opposed to a wired keyboard. And I noticed when I select the SWL screen ( which I love ) and have dedicated the PF3 to, I have to always select the spectrum scope manually. I'm hoping a future firmware update will "correct" this. What are your thoughts on these things ? Norm KC1VY

@MarkG0MGX 5 лет назад

@@normkirk65 Hi Norm, Yes you can use a wireless keyboard - I do. I think the SWL mode is intended to look "old school" so I wouldn't expect the spectrum scope to be on by default - you could do this with a PC based macro easily though. I will try and find out about the USB drive maximum size, I guess the easiest way is to ask on the 890 forum and see what size people are using.

@pu2xbt74 4 года назад

I already bought mine, waiting to arrive this beautiful radio, 73

@radioman6489 4 года назад

How you like the 890 so far?

@acestudioscouk-Ace-G0ACE 3 года назад

Thanks for this, very useful, especially as I'm thinking of upgrading to a TS890 or TS990S. I have a TS2000 which I've been very happy with, so would like to stay with Kenwood despite them not being the big name in amateur radio that they once were. I like the style and content of your videos, so I've subscribed.

Wonderful demo video Mark, drooled over the rig HI. Great to see you and know more of the man behind the callsign. Vy 73 Tony G3ZRJ

@teashea1 3 года назад

nice production values - clear discussion - well done (I like my 890 also)

@MarkG0MGX 3 года назад

Thanks!

@Penn1969 3 года назад

Wow!! You've definitely sold me the radio. I was talking to my mate this evening because I am just in the middle of putting up my new BOLPA 10. The Kenwood890 would be his choice of radio everyday of the week. I been using an ic 7800 and an SPE for the last few years. However, I think it's time for change and I've set my heart on the Acon 2000A fully automatic linear amplifier. I've just been looking around for another radio. I think I may have found the radio.

@gbujold3552 5 лет назад

As of January 1 2019, this is the best TS-890 video, I have seen. It explains the features you find important in an excellent formatted manner. Great Video. Would love to see you do a lot more of these for references, for us TS-890 beginners. Awesome work.
