I am the very happy winner of the Shack Clock! I’ve just upgraded to the Yaesu FTM510 and convinced my brother (2E0SBL ) to do the same - though he had to buy cable, connectors and an antenna! We are both super happy with the service at ML&S and huge thanks to Henry who helped me with my first ever purchase!

Oh.. and I told my brother about my clock win, and he immediately bought one himself today! I am staring down the barrel of more spinal surgery to take some more bone away at the back of my neck to reduce pressure on my spinal cord. But I’ll be on the air up to surgery and as soon as possible after M7TSS 73.❤

Best DMR handset I've owned. USB-C makes life a lot easier, and CPS uploads are faster too.

I’ve been looking at the Anytone AT-D168 for a while. For the price, it seems like a great budget DMR option. I’m really curious to see how it performs, especially for local and long-range use. Would love to hear from anyone who’s used it and what their experience has been like! 73

Interesting, for somone who may want to monitor a few DMR channels this would make a very economical solution in relation to buying a DMR capable scanner.

Das Menü sieht aus wie beim 868. Das finde ich gut.

Es mi gran ilusión pero por el momento no puedo permitirme comprar, gracias por todo

Enjoyed the radio presentation, looks great. But then to set up for DMR, code plugs etc and once again decided that this mode is not for me; almost lost the will to live.

Have too many HT's. Nice radio though. I am tempted.

No Bluetooth? 🤦

Hard pass.

I absolutely love using my 878uvII+ with my Bluetooth earbuds.
