There has been a sudden upping of the UK cashback offer on the Yaesu FTDX101D. Infact it has been doubled from the original cashback offer of £170 to £340!! Taking the price after cashback down to £2659.95.
This makes this quite an exceptional saving over the list price for a big base HF station rig.

Today was my birthday, it was very fitting to be presented with a nice cake from my family to help celebrate the milestone.
Of course the cake was well thought out and appropriate to my long dedication to our illustrious hobby.
Using Google translate, I uploaded the whole Chinese FT8CN V0.83 user manual PDF file. Except for the illustrations, it has managed to translate the whole file quite successfully to English.
There is enough detail for most to get an understanding of all of it's modes, uses and information.
