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.
