The QMX from QRP Labs

QRP Labs have announced the new QMX 5 band digital transceiver.

 

Initially the firmware supports CW and Single tone FSK modes, but maybe upgraded to SSB in future firmware updates:

Available as a kit or fully assembled, you can bet that this is going to be the hottest QRP product of the year.

FT8CN user manual translated to English

 


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.
