Yaesu FTDX101 price drop!

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.

 

Offer now expired 31.1.24

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.
