Yeah. What he said.

I just received this from my local AnyTone dealer. He claims that it will arrive in 3 weeks and he has 100 on order.

My only beef is that it doesn't go down to 24.000 MHz.

It does not go to 12 meters because radio amateurs are not it's intended target.

Obviously.

Neither is the OPTIMA Mk3, yet it covers 12M nicely.

 

[w9cll]

Go figure.

 

[Mudfoot]

Any talk of price yet?

You can pretty much say that about any transceiver that comes with echo and a roger beep built in. Still, it looks pretty cool and the VFO feature is nice.

What ham wants a radio with echo and a RB? LOL

 

[Mudfoot]

I don't, but I'll overlook it if the radio is useful otherwise.
