This is also new. I could not resist and spend all my savings on this. Not much reviews around so...
Ask me anything...

How's the wideband RX performance? Have you hooked it to a shortwave antenna yet?

@abortretryfail Sadly not yet. I am intended to do a one way Olivia trip with this and my hf radio to see if I can broadcast #RTK data in case I need it. Let you know when I do that experiment (=

@alper Can't blame you, but I'm cheap. I just ordered a pair of Baofeng DMRs for £30 each last week, and they have arrived.

@M0KHR I was also advising people to invest into HF radios and get cheap handhelds. Still having this much capability in one pack is tempting. I still hate dangly amateur apparatus we create wiring things together (=

@alper Cool. Just curious about general impressions — things that specs don't tell you… build quality, how does it feel, how does it sound…

@k0ftz I must tell my previous radio is Yaesu vx-8d. It is definitely better than anything from china but probably less solid from a submersible radio such as vx8. It is a little bit bigger than I am used to but still satisfying to handle. I keypad light is a little asymmetrical which bothers me sometimes. It is a good radio overall in physical regard. Nothing feels flimsy. PTT is a little less obvious than I am used to but I very much appreciate it.
