It Arrived...

The FX-4CR arrived yesterday, and what a little beauty it is!!! I'm very impressed with the quality and workmanship, it's absolutely top notch!

It's a 20w, all mode transceiver (SSB, CW, AM, FM) that will fit in the palm of your hand. It also has CAT Control via Bluetooth.

The manual is written in perfect English, and is easy to understand. 

I've done a lot of listening on it today on it, trying to get used to its menu system. I don't have a resonant antenna at home so I can't transmit until the MTU-MAT-10 ATU I ordered from DX Engineering arrives; it should be here next week. By then I should have the menu system down pretty good. 

The screen is very much like that on the G90, and it's crystal clear, very easy to read. I'm not sure the waterfall is going to be big enough to be a help, but it will, at least, give you an idea of what is happening on the band of choice.

I'll post more as I start using it in the field.  I think this radio is going to be a game changer!
