Piet from Avera reports that the discontinuation of the Excel Multi due to parts shortage in September is a little premature as the “factory has found some hard to find parts” to make one last production run! And so will come in March 2016 the last run.
Guess amongst the readers three are a few radios that we’d all like to see the last run of! And with one of course a nice 10w from it when certain wires are cut and rU and PX. Would keep building this? When other radios that are cheaper can in some cases be much better?

I had one of the original non EU norm radios (UK & CEPT) back in 2004. It was a fairly decent radio at the time, analogue meter and you could hold the func button to display frequency, which is useful if the person you were talking to wasn’t using a channelised radio.
But then the new Lincoln came along and there wasn’t much use for it then. I only buy multimodes and amateur radios now, but I suspect that whilst the price has gone up, the quality has come down, like the old one was 12v/24v and this one is only 12v. And at about £125-£130 retail, it is competing with a number of the multimode models, in fact for £130 you can even get an AT6666
