Looks nifty, and should be nifty for the inevitable price. What would be nice to see is a built-in Bias-T for powering Inmarsat patch antennas and others, and some support for the land mobile digital modes (P25, DMR, NXDN etc.). Neither are shown in the detailed specs. Other than that it surely has a nice feature set.

I guess I'm most surprised about the digital modes as they had a P25 option for their entry level models a while back. Maybe they'll take even more $$ and offer them as options. Being a lover of SDR technology I'll keep an eye on this one and work on the second mortgage...
