RatTail
I never had a rat tail, but my high school coach did ask me if my mother knew my hair was getting so long. Maybe it's time I got a RatTail.

The End of Amateur Licensing?
A question was asked about the future of amateur radio licensing.
I don't think it would go away - frequencies with privileges might change, cost might go up, etc. Even a simple test and a few dollars make for a non-trivial hurtle to ensure someone is really interested. It also gives more teeth to enforcement.

Wouxun KG-D901: 2016 Release
Wouxun says the KG-D901 will be released next year. They also say there will be a KG-D900 - it will not have a keypad like the D901. So, it is real, but no firm date for it to be in someone's hands.

Speaking of VHF/UHF radios that work with your smartphone http:https://t.co/rjRiD8lHqT

Along the lines of the goTenna... the Beartooth:
"Beartooth is a software defined radio peer to peer communication platform that encases your phone and doubles your battery life. Our proprietary software defined radio allows your smartphone to communicate even without cellular or wifi service. We allow for Push to Talk "PTT" voice communication, text messaging, and geolocation sharing on our offline maps."And:
"Our product will require FCC approval. We are currently working with attorneys and technical advisors who specialize in FCC approval. Our products are designed to meet the technical and legal requirements of the FCC, and we anticipate a favorable part outcome."The audio on this video is spotty and you still only get high level info, but they do mentions amateur radio as a target market (along with consumers.)

Wouxun KG-D901: DMR HT
Is it real? Will it be real? I had seen the image before. The BuyTwoWayRadios guys discuss what we know - which is basically only what you can see in the picture below. Wouxun won't confirm or deny the existence of the DMR radio.
