That is an interesting radio for sure. The one thing that does not look good is how you would tune it without a VFO knob. It likely would not be hard to make a project to create an external VFO knob depending on if there is a way to control it via serial or otherwise. I do everything manual and in the field, so having a VFO knob is required, and being able to use it with gloves would be even better.

While on eham.net today I accidentally stumbled upon the new Radioddity QR20 transceiver. Looks like a nice alternative for the POTA/SOTA and Satellite Roving community, doing 20 watts on 160-6m, 10 watts on 2m, and 5 watts on 70cm with an internal battery and internal antenna tuner, along with a band scope. All this at a fairly nice price.

You can see it at: https://www.radioddity.com/products/radioddity-qr20

Anyone had a chance to use one of these yet?
