Icom 7610 to arrive soon
The new Icom 7610 is due to arrive soon. This is another SDR-based transceiver for Icom. The 7610 replaces the 7600, which evolved from the highly regarded 756 series. Not sure of pricing, but the current 7600 model has street price of about $2700. It is supposed to support dual watch in different bands and modes, and has a large hi-res touchscreen display.

Connect Systems CS580
Our friends at Connect Systems have come up with a new DMR HT to compete with the lower priced DMR radios like the TYT MD380. The new CS580 looks similar to the TYT and other Chinese-sourced HTs and is selling for $130 direct from Connect Systems. Handles 1024 channels, and 64 zones but only 250 contacts according to their website. 4 Watts out on UHF.
