Alinco's new mobile 5Watt Digital Convenience Radio (D-CR) DR-DPM60, about $460 excluding tax.

Yaesu FT-70D Japan version. This HT is currently available.

A dual band HT FT-65, not 65R, from Yaesu will be released but not announced in detail yet.

A staff said "The FT-65 is successor of the FT-60. The release was suddenly brought to me this Friday and no further information."
The body is completely same as FT-65R already released in the US this year. Only the firmware and built-in FM receiver are temporarily fit for Japan.

A Motorola D-CR GDR4200, which has up to 2.5W output with 3.7V Lithium-ion battery.

CL08, a 20+27ch 10mW Low power License-Free radio, pronounced "create" is released a few years ago. It uses 1AA alkaline battery. There are three colors.

FDM-DUO, an ELAD SDR, is also displayed. The camo version is so cool!

Although it was 93.2F with high humidity today, I talked to some exhibitors with same hobby and enjoyed.
