Soon this HT will be released. It is much like the 878 but without GPS and Bluetooth. MAP is $199.
It is a bit smaller and has some enhancements such as USB-C power, battery recharge and programming, 2 batteries and 2 antennas. Do not confuse this model number with the single band, no display radio. This is dual-band (no 220 Mhz band) with display screen.
It also will load the 878 codeplug directly. Current beta CPS loads the 878 very near perfectly using a complex donor codeplug.
The brochure and other information is available via the URL above. Release in September 2024. Contact Bob at LGR for more information or purchase.
