Busy
I've been busy with family, work, and holiday stuff, so I've not been able to post as much. I wish this is what was happening, but it's not.
Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Deal
I decided to go with a traditional laptop at work, but I had the option of a Surface 3 Pro. If you are thinking about one, Amazon has a pretty good deal: $100 off, plus a $100 Amazon gift card.

SainSonic RST599
Another one to watch over at Hans' place - the SainSonic RST599:
"With 240 memory positions, scramble, three power settings, IP66 classification (dust- and waterproof to some extent) and a seven-color display this model clearly wants to impress us. In other specs (see below) I smell a hint of options normally found on Yaesu radios."He also says the price is expected to be around $60.

Yaesu FT2DR: Touchscreen HT
So Ford is replacing Microsoft's in-car infotainment platform and replacing it with QNX. Several of the comments to the Slashdot article are complaining about the lack of dedicated knobs and buttons. That complaint echos those I hear from those that don't want to do SDR, because they want knobs and not a mouse.
Makes me wonder what the response will be to the Yaesu FT2DR touchscreen HT. Universal Radio shows a list price of $640, so you know how interested I'll be.

I ordered two.
Not really.

Again, not really.
