![]() ![]() That said, if you’re looking for a new 100W radio for the shack or field? The FT-891 is a solid choice. Even at QRP output levels, the FT-891 needs a larger capacity battery. I decided against it at the last moment because I know I tend to reach for my lightweight QRP field radios that can provide me a few hours of radio fun on a 3Ah battery. Last year, I came so close to buying the FT-891 for $629 during a Black Friday sale. I noticed that Gigaparts and Ham Radio Outlet has the venerable Yaesu FT-891 on sale for $599.95 US. I grabbed another MPAS lite and saved $90.Ĭlick here to check out the Chameleon Sale! Yaesu FT-891 Chameleon AntennasĬhameleon has a 25% off Black Friday sale. The pack, shipped to my address in the US was $92.60 CAD. If it doesn’t, I still have many other uses in mind.Įverything in their store is 20% off today if you use the coupon code BKFRIDAY20. I’m hoping their Aircrew bag might fit my 2nd Yaesu FT-817ND which is now outfitted with the TPA-817 pack frame I purchased from a reader. ![]() ![]() Everything is made either in Canada (NB) or the US (or both), thus prices are much higher than mass produced gear. CP Gear Tactical manufactures a wide variety of gear primarily for the Canadian military market. I’ve had their their Aircrew/Pubs Bag with Padded Tablet Pocket on my wish list since the Ham Radio Workbench podcast episode where we talked about backpacks and pouches. I believe it was Rod (VA3ON) who first introduced me to this Canada-based pack manufacturer. Other colors may cost a few dollars more, but they’re all exceptional deals (I picked the least expensive color). I just purchased a blue Nanuk 903 with pick foam for $28.00 shipped ( affiliate link). Prices vary, but Amazon seems to have the lowest. I picked up a Nanuk 903 that I hope to use with one of my ultra-compact field radios (perhaps the Penntek TR-35). Nanuk, DX Engineering, and Amazon all have their Nanuk cases on sale today. I’ve been eyeing their Nanuk 903 which is actually a very compact case–something similar in size to the Pelican 1060 and the Evergreen 56. They’re essentially Canada’s version of the Pelican case. If you’re not familiar with Nanuk, they produce a wide variety of waterproof cases in Canada. That said, I’ve had a few pieces of gear on my mind that I’ve been wanting to review/evaluate and Black Friday has made a few of them more accessible. I’ve been trying to avoid looking at sales this week because I don’t really need anything. ![]()
