Alinco DR-735
Announced at Dayton, the Alinco DR-735 is a dual-band mobile transceiver:
Video above is from Gigaparts where they are taking reservations for $35, but Universal Radio is showing a price of $349.95.
- Full-duplex receiver enables simultaneous TX/RX within 144/440MHz bands as well as V/V and U/U receiver capability.
- Features eight full RGB color LEDs enabling you to customize your display colors in the set mode.
- Fully independent frequency, audio level and squelch knobs for right and left VFOs make it seem more like operating two monoband radios rather than a dual band transceiver.
- Simply press the volume knob to select the VFO you wish to use for transmitting.
- Cross-band repeater function available on all DR-735T radios.(Be sure to observe all regulations applicable to cross-band operation.)
- Computer programmable with free software available for download at www.alinco.com
- "Set Mode" menus are divided into basic and advanced, allowing you to assign less frequently used modes such as auto power off or busy channel lockout to set and forget. That makes it easier to access the menus you use more often, such as scan mode and pager settings.
- Large heatsink and quiet fan for stability while operating
- Wide and narrow ceramic filters enable true narrow band operation
- Two speaker ports located on the back of the unit allow you to separate signals by both right and left sides or by internal or external speakers using audio from a single external source.
- Features manual shift and offset direction setting plus preset and programmable auto-repeater settings. Includes 4 tone-burst tones.
- Includes 1,000 memory channels in 10 banks, 100 right-only/100 left-only memories, 100 dual memories, 5 pairs of programmed-scan channels, and 2 call channels. All memory channels can hold output setting, tones, LCD display color selections and more.

Magazine Clip
I totally stole the title of the post from here. And I may have even LOL'd at the "Yo dog, I heard you like magazines" comment.

Radio Bug
Here's the problem with all these fancy new SDR transceivers - bugs.
Google Home
Privacy issues aside (especially since Google knows everything about me anyway)... I'm happy to see Google Home applying pricing pressure to Amazon and it's Echo product.

A new Yahoo Group for the CS760 DMR radio coming from Connect Systems.
