Well, I'm just getting to grips with it, just arrived at lunchtime.
So far - confirmed, no DTMF.
The dual band operation seems a little flaky about which band it picks to TX on, and I haven't yet confirmed dual RX or Full duplex either.
Manual is in really good English so far - the radio is CE marked and the manual states:
"CE Caution:
Hereby, Wouxun declares that this Two-way radio is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC."
EDIT - NO DUAL RECIEVE! It can have both on, but will only let you hear the first one that it recieves on!
It's for sale at the Magnum folks - brand new...

No dual receive. Thats a shame.
Can it RX while you TX? (like rx 70cm while tx on 2m?)
I might aswell buy 2 handhelds if not.

Yeti,
How disappointing; I had a card left by the Post Office while I was at work, so I was looking forward to playing with it on the train tomorrow morning. It looks like it is going to be a little less interesting now. I wondered if the receive was going to be the same as the 699E, shame. I probably won't get rid of mine quite as quickly as you though because I don't have a 2M radio and am keen to see if VHF is as dead as 70cm.
I am looking forward to your review this evening though, it will be interesting to know if there are redeeming features (other than the price).
