This was news to me, but I just spotted a new, European made,
high spec 20W SSB/CW 4m/6m transceiver from a company called
Noble Radio on the 4m website at
www.70mhz.org. To my eyes this is an ugly beast which resembles an old PMR radio, but what a good idea for a new VHF transceiver. Certainly in Europe a 6m/4m transceiver has some attraction for those interested in the lower VHF spectrum, if the price is sensible. Wouldn't it be nice to have a 4 band (10, 6, 4 and 2m) all-mode rig from Japan or China too sometime soon. There would be a market.
Does anyone know who Noble Radio is and in which country they are located? I have no idea about price or availability. Perhaps this is a "test the interest" concept model, rather like the Tokyo Hi-Power QRP radio of a few years ago. This was shown at a ham fair but never made it to market.
