Looking to purchase a HF set to compliment my DMR handie and CB and further my interest in HAM hobby. I dont want a big roof mounted antenna stuck on the house, so looking for advice on what options are available (if any). FT450D or FT891 is what i have narrowed my choice of Rig.

Depends on the space you have.
Cobweb only 8feet square and easy five bands, get it up 20feet work the world, 20 to ten metres.
Vertical, Hustler 6btv 24feet tall 6bands, ground mount, layout a bunch of radials again work the world 80 to 10metres.
