20 watts with built in antenna tuner.

It's a configuration that many have been asking for, remains to be seen if the performance and the details can meet people's needs.

If nothing else it might push one of the major brands toward a similar configuration field-oriented radio.

Welp you just saved me a few bucks on buying one of the 20w chinese radios without a tuner. Now all it needs is a good clip on battery case. And a good rugged splash proof outer case. Also I wonder how well it does data modes.

Yup. And a decent waterproof case (rain proof) and audio connector.

Any idea what the rx drain is?
