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?

  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?
