Interesting to see this in here as 'new' when it has been available in UK for years AND has recently been listed as 'discontinued' on MLS website. There is a 'PL' version (covers 4m instead of 10m. not much use in USA) but that is not listed as discontinued it is listed as 'unavailable - new model coming'.
Peut-être est-ce une nouvelle version du 950 ? En tous cas ce poste existe depuis un bon moment déjà... 73 à tous de Laurent F4FSG
With a little help from Google translate: "Maybe it's a new version of the 950? In any case this post has existed for a long time already ... 73 to all of Laurent" Good thing Lauren's message was text, being I only speak the New Englander's version of English my only option would have been to reply "59, serial number 001, good luck in the contest, 73"
Nothing less than a Chinese JUNK knock-off of the Yaesu FT8900. It may be cheaper than Yaesu but 20y from now it will be in the landfill while my 8900 is still working.
For a buck more in manufacture they could have put the standard 6 pin minidin on the back to facilitate connections for digital modes. Sorry, no sale.
I was being snarky. The FCC recently banned some import radios that allowed transmitting out-of-US-ham-bands. 315 is an international ISM bane.
