Baofeng UV-3R

This little radio is now FCC approved. That means this cheap dual-band transceiver is now within your grasp.

Already known by many, this 2 watt producing Chinese gem sells for as little as $50 on eBay. Although not a true dual-bander, it can only do one band at a time, for the price it does a lot. It comes with 2 antenna's. One for VHF and one for UHF. These antenna's are not that great and many users have replaced with a little SMA dual-band antenna. Comes with a LI-Ion battery, charger and ear piece/microphone. Also comes with some nifty features like an FM radio and LED flashlight.

Yaesu VL-2000 and VP-2000 HF/50 Linear Amplifier

1500 watts, that's how much this new amplifier produces. The VL-2000 from Yaesu.



But to get the full 1500 watts, this amplifier wants 48 volts, and specifically from the VP-2000 matching power supply which in it's turn prefers 240 volts. But if you only have 120 volts to give, you'll still get 500 watts.

More pictures here, manual here.

GRE PSR-410 Mobile/Base Scanner

The mobile/base version of the PSR-310...


What's cool about this unit is that you can remove the case/stand and then the it can be mounted in a standard DIN-E sleeve, so for most cars, albeit with some modifications, it can be mounted in the dash. This is not new, it's something the Kenwood RZ-1 has done back 20 years ago. Unfortunatly the PSR-410 doesn't receive broadcast radio, something the Kenwood RZ1 could do.

More pictures here, manual here.

Approved by the FCC today, the Kenwood TS-590S, unfortunatly Kenwood wants the FCC to keep the images and manual under wraps for a while.
