FT-891 Ham Radio Power Test: Is The Perfect Power Level 60 Watts?

The fifth in a series of videos testing the run times of the Yaesu FT-891 on a 4.5ah Bioenno LiFePO4 battery. This testing has now shifted into finding the most advantageous power setting to performance and battery usage. So far that's somewhere between 50 and 75 watts. This time we're trying out 60 watts.
