Julian G4ILO's excellent blog I noticed he mentioned the
Youkits TJ2B 4 band HF SSB/CW transceiver from China. The spec of this little handheld looks most interesting with 2 versions covering a choice of 4 HF bands in each option. Available ready built for just $329 with first shipments due around now. A kit version is also available for $269.
Now, at THAT price, this is a much more interesting little commercial unit to climb up that SOTA mountain or clifftop with!
For many months I've been predicting downturns in the Yaesu/Icom/Kenwood sales as a result of the increase in activity from Chinese suppliers. This is surely just the start.
