Neat - I've yet to see or hear about them yet. I'll check with one of the guys locally down here to see if he's played with one yet. Probably not too different operationally than a 500 or 600.

Do they sell the EX560 in the United States, or is it a "gray market"/european radio

[escomm]

Yes, it's a domestic model with FCC type acceptance

that looks sexy, do they make them in the ht1250 style? i'm not a big fan of the bulky mini radios.

[nh7cy]
