I take that to mean that they will be for sale next month...

 

It will be available in September.

 

Yes, it will be available in September

 

What will be the selling price?

 

American components--- Russian components-- all made in Taiwan!

 

I don't see to many American manufacturers rushing in to join the Frey. So, until then, welcome.

 

Well duh, they're obviously afraid of Arya.

 

Interesting article I intend to get one of these HT's when they become available in the UK, right now I am playing with a TYT MD-2017 its OK but the trackball is a pain lol anyway 73s

 

Yolanda , Please make sure that Promiscuous mode can scan the band and when it locks on a frequency and time slot and TG it is important to allow for storing this channel in a selected memory . This will win the market . Thank you

I will make sure it, thanks

 

Great movie!

 

I assume they are waiting on FCC certification as compliant with Part 90. I had an MD-2017
and the biggest detriment was the "crazy" and hard to control trackball, second was the antenna
connector issue. Sent it back for a refund. Gonna do a wait-see on this one, sticking with the
proven reliable MD-380 and my Motorola XPR7550e. I would like a dual-band DMR HT when
someone comes out with a reliable one............just my 2 cents.
