Yaesu FTX-1F QRP

So who else is going to drink the koolaid and buy one?

I can’t wait until it is released, I need to fire up the soldering iron and mess it up!

I stay with IC-705, Yaesu is so ugly.

I have an IC-705 that works great but the dual receiver on the FTX-1F has me very interested.

Same, I had the 705 with the 705 tuner and had a blast with it but the Yeasu has me intrigued!

I'll wait until 6-8 months after it comes out, and Yaesu does what they typically do (drop the price $200-$300 and screw the guys who bought a new rig when it first came out)

My IC-705 is my back-up radio to my KX2. I do have fun with it when I use it.
I will wait until my local candy store gets one in and on display before l think about getting one.

I'll be getting one. I like the look of it. I have always preferred Yaesu over Icom. Dual RX will hopefully allow for duplex satellite work. I have an IC-705, X6100, and an FT-817ND already but you can't have too many QRP rigs.
Hopefully it doesn't suffer from the horrendous LCD touch screen interference that the IC-705 does, when used with portable antennas in close proximity.
