Re: Quansheng handheld
Quansheng have some new dual-band hand-held radios out from Jan 2009
http://www.qsfj.com/en/Product_info.asp?ID=42
Appears to be the base model
http://www.qsfj.com/en/Product_info.asp?ID=43
The intermediate
http://www.qsfj.com/en/Product_info.asp?ID=46
The advanced. This can be got for around $USD115 if you import the non-AU version.
Edit: Fixed the price to $USD

Dang - that looks pretty alright! And it can pick up the FESA frequencies...*sigh*robbage wrote: http://www.qsfj.com/en/Product_info.asp?ID=46

I've found that my Quansheng has _much_ better sensitivity than the Yaesu VX-7R (that I got so that I could pick up the FESA frequencies). If I had known these new Quanshengs were coming, I'd probably have just gotten one of them. I'd finally figured out the logic to programming them too!!!

Re: Quansheng handheld
Yes, the last one does look pretty good. As far as programming them... can you type up something that makes sense and turn it into a PDF? Maybe Q will use it in place of the Quanlish.meg wrote:Dang - that looks pretty alright! And it can pick up the FESA frequencies...*sigh*

I should have a go at typing it up though, see if I can translate from my own brain!
