I’m guessing most of us have been thoroughly teased by the extraordinary good looks of this radio, it would seem an excellent fit for SOTA activators and I look forward to reading the reviews.

Another new radio, yay!

It gets a good review in the November Radcom magazine from RSGB.

I read that reveiw myself. The two negatives that stood out for me:
No built in ATU option.
No full break in on CW.
It looks a sturdy rugged thing though compared to the Elecraft line, highly suitable for SOTA .
Made in Russia apparently, not China.

Following with interest! A robust, water resistant and lightweight SSB HF radio with 10W is a “sweet spot” for me. As long as it will operate on the UK 60m segments and not be limited to the WRC-15 allocation.

Hi Gerald,

With the latest firmware update, the frequency range that is covered on 60m is now between 5258.5kHz and 5406.5kHz USB.

I did a quick demonstration of that, as well as the added voice beacon feature while doing SOTA one week ago:

Further, after a couple of activations with this transceiver, I wrote two reviews in this forum, the last one can be found here.

Unfortunately I couldn’t do anything this time because my ELECRAFT-T1 decided not to continue the adventure with me. So it will be for a next time but in any case: no more automatic tuning boxes. Next portable operation with an EMTECH-Z2.
