The first shortwave transceiver that I bought. I got told this has
one of the best receivers and filter techniques on the beginner segment.
Unfortunately this radio is a bit chunky and heavy to transport in a
rucksack so I haven't really used it that much so far -- I do not have
a station set up at my QTH yet.
The date of this article is calculated back when I made the first video using
this radio, because I couldn't tell when I bought it/got it delivered exactly.
## Built-in soundcard and CAT control
The radio can be connected to a computer with one single USB cable
which provides a virtual soundcard aswell as a CAT control interface.
This makes operating digital modes dead easy.
## Big touch screen
Maybe the first thing that you might see on that radio is the big
screen. It is clear and very easy to read; you can interact with your
finger aswell.
## Twin filters
To separate a signal is also a very easy thing to do. Use the twin
filters to narrow down the used bandwith. Long press the filter
button to clear and reset those filters.
