Sorry to resurrect an old thread. But has anyone heard any updates on this radio, like a projected release date?

I just got my Technician and am borrowing a 2m Yaesu HT and using EchoLink for now. Beofeng came out with their VHF/UHF/DMR version already. I'd like to see the price difference of the Beofeng & this TYT model.

Thanks.

Do not buy the Baofeng. It works simplex only, and spams both time slots of a repeater.

Update from QRZnow.com:

I've heard late February, but it looks like May 2017 now.

I see a few companies are doing pre orders for this one so must be close .....maybe

 

[KG7PBS]

I can't wait to buy it. I ues TDMA on simplex all thrle time if this will work with my Motorola XPR3500 cool
On TDMA simplex then its a keeper

 

[K5MPH]

Cant wait until it comes out it does look a little MOTO nice looking radio.......

 

[robertmac]

As long as MOTO doesn't sue Tytera like they are trying to Hytera.

 

[jonwienke]

TYT isn't trying /to make tier III trunking radios.

 

[Forts]

Whats that have to do with anything? Lots of companies make Tier III gear...

 

[highstupid]

Well as long as TYT doesn't acquire several Moto engineers who give TYT several trade secrets, then TYT won't be like Hytera

Pricing wise - looking to be around £175 for the non GPS version, ($220 roughly) - direct from distributors

 

[c_snyder]

So will there be anything new with this model or will it basically be a case redesign like the 380-390?

I like the new look though. I guess I'm just wondering about new capabilities.

 

[Forts]

Ah... well the fact that it's dual band is pretty significant! Not to mention it looks like from the limited screen shots that the UI has been perhaps revamped a little.

 

[c_snyder]

Well if it's true dual band then that would be pretty nice.

I guess my mind was thinking dual band in chinese usually means analog and digital.

 

[jonwienke]

Not this one. It's actual UHF and VHF.

Does anyone when it come out?
