New for 2013: Yaesu FTdx-1200
- The new FTdx-1200 delivers 100W on HF and 50MHz.
- Up-conversion type 1st IF 40,455MHz.
- 4.3 in TFT full color display like FTdx-3000.
- Optional SCU-17 USB Interface Unit.
- The SCU-17 USB Interface supports CAT, USB Audio in/out, TX control (PTT, Key, Shift) and Firmware update functions. (*)
- Optional FFT Unit adds other features.
- List Price: $2400.00
(*) So we have to buy a $220 interface if we want to update the firmware?

LSB Flash Drive
It was about time I developed this – the USB interface is so crowded that interference became a major problem. Special LSB drivers can be obtained from your PC manufacturer.
Special WOM (Write Only Memory) versions, for storing information you never want to see ever again, will be available later this year. Final prices yet to be established.
With capacities up to 1 TB, the LSB Flash Drive beats any existing storage device.
