And these claims are ridiculous! I mean assuming the programing is in a parsable programing language and not really hacky you could code this thing to do... a lot of communicating.

I am curious has anyone out there forked over the 2k for the 'rugged' version or $700 for the bench top version? is it any good? can you program it with a reasonable effort? are the claims on power and sensitivity true? does it do signal noise discrimination half decent?

Look forward to hearing from you all.

Thanks

If it sounds too good to be true....
It looks like CCR wannabe military gear for preppers.

Oh I’m aware of what it looks like. I just wondered if it was good wannabe gear.
