But it lacks a built in tuner. Some may find that a deal breaker but I really think that’s ok as it allows you to pick and choose an appropriate tuner for your needs. And that's what I did with the LDG Z11 Pro II. The LDG Z11 Pro 2 is a low cost, small automatic tuner that is ideal for mobile, base, or portable use. This tuner will do up to 125 watts sideband and about 30 watts digital. LDG calls this their zero power, which means in the standby mode it draws a negligible amount of power. #Hamradiohowto #YaesuFT891 #LDGZ11PROII
