Peek at new Yaesu FTM-350 APRS Mobile rig


I just got the latest HRO catalog and noticed that this rig is shown in it. Universal Radio also has it listed with complete known specs and pictures. Some things of interest other than the APRS functionality is the optional Bluetooth hands free kit. The price of the radio, gps module and other accessories are not listed yet. It looks like a pretty nice rig from the pictures.
