Regardless of the picture of a VHF/UHF set, if they are about to produce a cheap modern HF transceiver,
I can bet you there will be a host of twitching 'weetos' at Yaesu, Kenwood & Icom.

The picture of the rig doesn't add up, below the screen it says dual band FM transceiver, the same as the Icom, maybe they haven't got a picture available of the rig and just threw any old pic in for good measure
