The Chinese are coming?
Several UK dealers have been advertising the new Chinese SDR portable (the Xiegu G106) that in many ways looks like a much better radio than the FT818 and far less expensive.
My main objection in the past to Chinese amateur radio products has been quality control and consistency. Maybe this is the first of a new breed?
This radio is HF only, but look at the price!!

Rembrandt's Night Watch - NOT amateur radio
10m WISPY WSPR TX
It is hard to think that I first made this TX 10 years ago. It was copied across the world. I still have it somewhere.

Pye PF8 on 70cm
Some were put on to 70cm.
They were 500mW transceivers with internal antennas. At the time they were novel and quite different from the usual PMR radio.
There is a page about them on my main G3XBM website.
