Ham Radio Outlet has them in stock now. I took at look at one at the Sunnyvale store last week.

Hi All,

They had them on the table at the Jackson, MS hamfest yesterday. They have a very big display that would be easy to read in a mobile install. Price was $599 for this dealer. For those of us that use 220mhz, we were disappointed that it only has 1 watt on that band.

73 to all,

John, I just saw an advertisement in QST (page 6 February issue) for a Yaesu FTM-350R dual band rig that may be interesting. It has 2m & 440, with 1200/9600 packet. Other features are bluetooth capability as well as APRS/GPS, as well as other features. It's not available yet in the U.S. It still has to get FCC approval. Looks like we'll have an option to the Kenwood TM-710. Has anyone outside the US had any experience with it yet? ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Geiger" aa5jg@yahoo.com To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 12:40 Subject: [amsat-bb] Best dualband FM rigs

What are considered the best dualband FM rigs for working the mode J FM

sats-like AO27, SO50, and AO51? Which hear the birds the best on 70cm FM?
