Hart....
    I used the good ol' GOOGLE search engine again and came up with the
following web sites for viewing:-
For the Yaesu FT-890 :

www.eham.net/reviews/detail/457

www.rigpix.com/yaesu/ft890.htm

For the Yaesu FT-767GX :

www.rigpix.com/yaesu/ft767gx.htm

www.eham.net/forums/Elmers/61293

www.eham.net/reviews/detail/498

    If you do a Google search for Yaesu FT-890 or Yaesu FT-767gx you'll come
up with the above sites, and plenty more.
BTW... The 767gx also has a built in antenna tuner and P/S. I believe the
890 is 13.8VDC and will require a power supply.
