To be debuted at Dayton Hamvention:


As Eric is scheduled to do a presentation at FDIM titled “Shrinking the
Multi-Mode HF Transceiver”, this kind of fits right in, eh?

Right off the bat, I see a somewhat smaller rig - to my eye, not MTR sized,
but smaller than the KX3. Two bands missing, 160 Meters and 6 Meters; and
I'm sure a smaller price point. A Japanese Website
(http://edcjp.sblo.jp/article/175341127.html) is listing $750 as the base
price - not including tuner or any other accessories.

OK. Here's a photo from Facebook that puts the size issue in perspective.
It IS substantially smaller than the KX3!


Very interesting. Ideal for the SOTA operator - maybe the LNR rigs were
starting to cause a little diversification in the market? As of right now,
my KX3 is all I need and I personally don't anticipate a need ........ but
ya never know.
