Interested in computers, electronics, building radio equipment, portable/SOTA operations and SDR.
I think amateur radio is all about building, experimenting and testing new stuff.

And there’s no VHF or UHF????
Shot themselves in the foot with that silly omission. The 857d might have been imperfect but there’s no way I’d change it for this thing. With my 857d I can work every band except to 70cm except 4m – which has very little traffic so that’s hardly a loss.
Everyone expected a brand new updated 857D with the same coverage, this silly radio is NO replacement at all.
And with HF being as it is right now and VHF becoming a major interest area – impossible to understand their reasoning.
