What are the predictions on what this will cost?
I've started to think about a new radio - probably a ways off - but was looking at the FT-897D. |

Throw in a tuner and you can justify a $1,500 street price pretty easily. Interesting that there's no indication of a digital connection (USB ala Icom 7200) although lots of mention of digital modes. You'd think integrating USB audio/controls would be a no brainer in a rig of that class (and portable, no less.) |

The 7100 sucks as a mobile rig with that odd shaped face, at least for me. I am betting this will be about $1800-1900 when it hits the shelves. Don't expect it before Dayton. I could be wrong. I was reading the other day that the 897 was dead and some of the components have already reached end of life. The factory only had enough parts to build 200 more rigs. But that is from the internet so you know it has to be true LOL. |

Hopefully it's just a prototype and the retail model will have dual antenna connectors like the 857/897 Eta saw other pictures and there is two antenna mounts...the other is obscured by the power molex plug |

Yeah... It's decided. No matter how much it costs, I'm getting one. It looks like it'll take the place of my current portable setup. Internal tuner FTW.
Looks like all the filters are DSP-based too. http://qrznow.com/yaesu-ft-991/ |

I'll more than likely will be 1st to buy (pre-order) this radio. I have the 897D and probably give it to my son. QRZnow has a posting dated today. And I now can see the second antenna jack behind the power cable. And internal ATU and USB-A is a definite plus. Looks less menu driven with more buttons and touch screen menus to boot.

Looks like an FT-847 replacement more than anything. 847 has been out of production for quite a while but that's the closest model.
Looks like a new oddball power connector. Wish they'd just put a powerpole on there. |

While I understand your thought process that it would be a lower initial cost, but a fully optioned rig would be more expensive that way. Look at it as buying a car. Before radios were standard in a car the option price was crazy same for air conditioning. Try buying a car now without one. They look a you like you are crazy. I buy my trucks like that and I have to buy it out of fleet sales just to get a stripped down basic truck. |

Plus I would not in the market for one right away as I am sure there will be a few kinks that need to worked out. More than likely the ARRL will evaluate one at some point and their lab will find the deficiencies. And yes, I do not need it but at some point in the future I will probably want one  |

Quite a few times I came this -><- close to buying the 897. I still think it's a cool radio just because it does all bands/all modes and has relatively low power consumption. But this Ft-991 is appealing. With that big display and all the DSP stuff I bet the power consumption is going to be awful compared to the 897 though. |

This was my first thought, as well. i have to wonder how much current it draws. It seems like they have gone from and all band portable rig, to a small(ish) sized, all band, base station radio. It does look portable to a certain extent, but I suspect you will need a good power source when you get it to your destination. We'll see.... |
