May 15, 2026: A thank you, Yaesu DR-3X, EtherHam, TD-H9 Part 2, Antenna vs. Tree, Hamclock upgrade, the Short Stack, Digital Radio News, Band Conditions, Radio History, and QRT.
I agree. I'm really speaking about Yaesu's strange way of bringing product and upgrades to market. We saw it with the latest WiRES-X release: no official release, just rumors and a single page of upgrade directions on the Yaesu.com website. Days later, it became official. Now we see the same style with the DR-3X series of repeaters: start with teasing the information before it is officially announced. I just find that very odd.
I consider a Youtube video with John Kruk on Yaesu's channel to be reliable. That does NOT mean they are available. 😉
