  I've been working on a proto unit of Nomad. The idea is to integrate SDR without it hanging off the side, in a small backpack unit. I've also added a Nooelec amp here which is powered by the Nomad'...

  SpecFive will soon be announcing a partnership with a wonderful group of HAM operators. They run a non-profit and we'll be providing them with very discounted long-range S5 Relay systems. That will...
