HRO has the FT-891 right now at $599.95, which I think is a killer price for that rig. I run one as a mobile in my truck. I use a screwdriver antenna (Scorpion), so no need for a tuner. If you run resonant antennas, you do not need an external tuner. If you do need a tuner for non-resonant antennas, there are plenty of inexpensive auto-tuners in this power class. A side benefit of external tuners is that they generally have a much broader matching range than internal tuners.
