Eric, I know nothing about this radio, but it brings to mind the old adage,
"You get what you pay for." If you buy one I hope that it works to your
expectations, but it wouldn't surprise me if it turns out to be a real
loser.
Good luck. Best 73

I would say, for $300 fully assembled (its also available as a kit for =
cheaper), it is certainly more affordable than other "portable" =
solutions. It can also be computer controlled with HRD (using the same =
command set as the Icomm IC-718 (also supported in Hamlob under linux).
