Not to crazy about it. It's like the Motorola Ion in how they look like a cell phone with an antenna.
I recently obtained a DJ-X11T, which is a very good wideband handheld, but cannot locate anywhere the EDC-174 drop in charger stand, which was not included in the package. HRO, DX Engineering, eBay, no one seems to have it in stock. Is that a supply chain issue from Japan, or is Alinco no longer supplying it to the US market? I need to know Alinco's US marketing intentions before considering a new product.
Alinco has announced the discontinuation of the DJ-X11T series due to supply chain issues in its Japanese website.
Unless I miss the point, yet another overpriced Alinco failure ? . What is the sense of no trunking and no 800 mhz? . I owned the dj-x1000 for a short time, and was very underwhelmed. Crappy audio,slow scan speed, hard to program. I traded it off for a used Uniden bc780. The thing was expensive to boot.
according to this site, is planned to be released in spring 2023 デジタル受信が一気に普及するカギ「DJ-X100」The DJ-X8 is the same. I wonder how this will affect the DJ-X100.
Hello Kiniutech and pb_lonny,
why up to 512 MHz?
Thank you and 73

I did manage to get one radio in europe with a very overprice sending. And this radio feels very solid build. The Menu system if you can understand Japanese is very easy organised and not like some cheap Chinese Radio. I have also now manage to update the receiver with new firmware 2.00. But be aware that there is no warranty on this if it breaks. Also the receiver I get was allready open for larger reciever frequency this also breaks warranty.Sad. This receiver would have been very suitable for Europe.
Regarding voice sound, you can change detailed sound setting.I know that my receiver has been modified. But then I also think that this modification perhaps can give a worse sound and performance. But I am not an expert. I realy do not know why the sound is so bad. The Voice sounds more like they have a deafening noise over the speech itself. If this is the modified reciever that give this, I like to know ??
Then I will try to undo the modification.
I think the modification that is done is what you have in the link @dempa.
DJ-X100 reception modification method found
Remove the chip resistor (only one larger) under the LCD.
No reset required
Extended to 20-470MHz
I can also in the programming software se that the radio has some hiddem Features like POCSAG etc.
And one thing I did not mention is that this radio has a lot of built-in' "Birdies".
Many more that I have seen on other cheap Chinese Radio.
