Interesting New QRP Xcvr

[spongella]

Saw this on SWLing.com, interesting low power ham transceiver:

The HobbyPCB IQ-32: A general coverage portable QRP transceiver with color touch screen now shipping

Nice looking unit but at $529.00 I'll pass.

I think for a little more money the 10-12 watt output KX2 is probably 5X the performance and features which are known and documented here: Receiver Test Data and its battery and auto tuner are built inside where there is no ATU option for the HobbyPC. You would also have Elecraft's legendary service in the US and who is HobbyPC and what happens if their radio doesn't work? The handles are also a direct rip off of the handles I designed for the K3, KX3 and KX2 marketed by my friend here: Side KX and I don't take too kindly to rip offs.
