I have one of these on the way, looks just like the Midland and is available in the US. It has sideband and AI noise reduction, we will see if it has the high power export mode, stay tuned.

Wagonmaster just did a review on that one and it seems to suffer some short comings about like the midland version. Maybe it'll get sorted out with a software update.

Edit: I didn't intend to come in negative on your post. I had been researching this radio too and after finding out there are a few bugs with this and the midland version I decided to back off and go with a different radio. This one has some potential once they clear up the bugs.

I'm not convinced theirs enough resolution on that frequency counter! Be interesting if those extra zeros actually change.

I'm interested if the luitton is worth the two hundred bucks?

Hey Cool! Let us know how it goes when you plug it in and try it.

I got the radio and am checking it out now. They should make one double the size and call it a base station.

Big thanks to Wagon Master for the video. The problem with his power plug does not appear to be a problem on the one I have. The socket holds the plug tight enough to hold the weight of the radio itself. Picture shown with the cord that came with the radio, and my other cords fit the same. Maybe it was just a problem with the one Wagon Master got?

If it's AM/FM only why does it have a clarifier knob? Weird......
