ICOM IC-7300 VS Yaesu FT-991A compared
This is mostly about the band scope but covers a few other features. Both rigs are near the same price. The 991A has 2m and 70cm coverage but the scope isn't nearly as functional as the 7300.

Yaesu FT-991 vs FT-991A
Yaesu FT-991 vs FT-991A
The main differences shown in the video are the waterfall display on the new model, along with the fact that the audio is not muted when sweeping through a band. It is also mentioned that the touch-sensitive display is more responsive to touches, instead of the previous model where you had to press harder for a touch to register.

Yaesu FT-991 Vs FT-991A
I am wondering if the FT-991A is worth the extra 600.00 over the FT-991. I believe that there were some quality issues with the FT-991, but Yaesu corrected the issues with units manufactured in 2016.
I am open to other radios that are similar. I want 160-10 HF, UHF/VHF. and 6 meters including FM.
I believe Yaesu is the only one that has the complete package in the price range of $1500 and under.

FT-991 The Final Analysis
FT-991 The Final Analysis
The final analysis of the ill-fated FT-991. But wait, is there a golden lining? Can you turn their mistake into a benefit for you?

FT-991 AM transmission audio trouble
AM transmission audio trouble
the problem
Information can be found about the bad transmitted AM audio quality on the internet. To be sure that’s true, I verified this with my FT-991. And the AM audio quality is indeed quite bad. The FET’s from the HF power amplifier of my FT-991 are already replaced (at the Yaesu service centre) and therefore there isn’t a relation between the bad finals and bad AM
audio quality. Based on my “research” I can conclude that the solution is quite simple and can be done yourself.
verification of the facts
As a start I wanted to be sure that the AM audio quality is indeed bad. The FT-2000 was set in receive mode and a dummy load is connected to the HF antenna port of the FT-991. Both radios are set to the same frequency. On all the HF bands, the AM audio quality was bad. Transmission power and other settings didn’t contribute to better audio.

The New Yaesu FT-991A
The New FT-991A – HF/50/144/430 MHz All-Mode “Field Gear” Transceiver – Coming October 2016
The FT-991A is the next-generation of the widely popular FT-991. Like its predecessor, the FT-991A is creatively designed to fit into a very compact (W9.0″ xH3.2″ x D9.3″) rugged case and will deliver up to 100 Watts solid output power (50 Watts on 144/430MHz) on SSB, CW, AM, FM, Packet and C4FM Digital on the popular HF/50/144/430MHzBands.
