The new "kid on the block" has arrived!

 

 As the title of the post indicate the new "kid",  Hytera MD785G Radio has arrived. No bragging here as this radio will play a major roll in the Garden Route Hub Network and maybe there are other local radio amateurs in the Garden Route that would like to join me in this venture. 

 My first impressions of this DMR radio is that it is well built and easy to operate.  I intend to compile review videos on YouTube in future regarding equipment and radios I use for the Garden Route Hub Network.  The only aspect that keeps me from making videos is to show my ugly face to the world.  Hopefully I can work around this aspect.

My thanks to Dirk ZS1DRK for the great service and providing of information relating to this radio during the purchase transaction.  It is really a pleasure doing business this way.

Here is a few images of the radio.  Lookout for an update on this project.
