NONE of the Wouxun HTs are true full-duplex. None have "cross-band repeat" functions. None are true dual-receive. Not even the new UV6D that is coming out in the next few weeks have any of these

Re: FT-60R $174.95 at HRO!
They really have some stiff competition as of late. The Wouxun dealer in TX has a private-branded 2-watt dual-band HT for $70 now. Two of those and a small home-brew controller would make a pretty
