Aquario RP-70 mini SSB radio First production review

BC Coyote · Monday at 5:07 PM

M0OGY just posted this review of the newly released Aquario RP-70 mini SSB/AM/FM radio. I have heard that it is likely to be un-cheap. I've heard US$400 is the probable price point. Considering it is only 7 watt AM/FM and 15 SSB it will need at least a small amp for most folks applications, which will push the total price even higher. I was looking forward to this radio, but at that price and with the need to also buy an amp it's looking awfully unaffordable. Especially these days when we are all so squeezed for money......

You're not just buying a chickenbander, you're getting the full support of a company that most people outside of Brazil have never heard of and who's track record is largely unknown.

Or at least you would be, if they would actually put the darn thing up for sale.

*sigh* I want one, but I'll probably have to wait until they start showing up on fleaBay with busted encoders and then have to 3D print a new tuning knob.

I can think of many other things radio I would spend 400 bucks on. I would say $225 would be a realistic price point if they actually wanted them to sell big.
