I agree that a mid-band variant would be better for me as well. I already have one kit I assembled myself and am #10 on the list for another unit that is currently awaiting the GPS module. Once that gets here I may take my original kit and attempt any mods to make it mid-band.
I hate giving up on the 15 and 17 meter band.
For a digital-modes radio to not use more of the WARC bands where the predominant modes are CW or digital.; IDK.
10 and 11 don't mean much to me. I would happily give up on 80.
