Back in early Jan I had sent Ed an email for status. At that time, he still hadn't heard from China.

yeah, i just received an email from him and he said that he hoped it would be "sometime soon".

Might be a bit longer yet a lot of places have been closed for over a week for Chinese new year.

i reserved one LAST YEAR and have a low (2 digit) reservation number.

:thumbdown: bottom line: i'm tired of waiting and unless they contact me SOON , they lost a sale.

As of Feb 22, there was no word from China yet.
I may end up passing on it, but I'll wait on that decision until more info comes out.

No word still. A good way to see if it is on its way is to look at the FCC authorization search.. if there is an FCC ID, then it is on its way (at least a us version)

more "unreliable" rumors,...... The mobile was on display at the Kennehoochie Hamfest in Marietta, Georgia, (Saturday, 16 Mar). the price was under $200.

YMMV

Welcome to the forum.

But I think you found that clone right here with this Wouxun . . .

Well -almost. No APRS. Wonder if all the buttons are backlit - that is a big gripe with me and the Yaesu. If the Wouxun has an easy to use interface; I just might sell it and get the Wouxun. The Yaesu can scan many freqs; but is difficult to use - unless you keep the manual next to it. But if there is an programming upgrade for this Wouxun - like the handheld Wouxun's have - maybe it is also capable of scanning a wider freq range. I'm a bit put off by the Yaesu's difficulty in using the interface - about as cryptic as it gets - IMO. Not exactly 'user friendly'.

I paid about $400 for my Yaesu FT-8800R.

No APRS??? Any radio will do APRS, just add a TNC and cheap GPS and you still have a very low cost package.

Ill try one of these to

I have been thinking about getting a third ICOM IC-2820H but I might just have to put one of these threw the ringer and see just what they are made of.

 

[blue2824]

dont forget this is not your average dual brander you can select 2/440 2/220
all in this one radio same as the ht . technically its a tri brander software selectable

Wow! I did not know this. I've been wanting a good 220 rig.
