What we can see the power lead is similar to RP-70 only connectors weren’t on the sample shown. The AM/FM is $81 from eBay where as one advertised is shown AM and FM with SSB same advert. So needs time, there are a few weird anomaly with this and it’s SSB friend. All appears not as seemed.

I wish they’d quit torturing us and release it already.
Without SSB it’s available now at around $85. With SSB timeline now went from soon to unknown
Needs clarifying modes
Needs ctcss/DCS (A must have on FM mode)
Needs NRC TX/RC
Needs repeater shift 100khz +/-
Needs 2.00/4.00khz FM deviation
Needs UK+expanded mode
Needs a reverse DTMF keypad on back of microphone (all-star links ,echolink control tones)
Needs 10m ham mode with VFO
Needs fast/slow AGC
Needs wide 4k /3.0k narrow ssb tx audio response.
Those are the standards now have to meet on
CB and 10m ham radio users needs in one box
I cannot see this banging out a lot of RF with tiny heatsink so dont get too over excited.
Also no stability specs or is it tcxo 1ppm for ssb stability ?
Has to be super stable due to it size and heat build up so tcxo reference is essential in ssb stabilization.
Too many questions yet not enough solid answer out …
If TYT can pull it out the bag and the above could be a really neat unique set,best of luck to them,sell bucket loads 😃
But if they bring out a dulled down version hmm all I’ll say.
