![]() The unit has a good sized screen (2.4") but it is rather low resolution (160x160 dot matrix LCD) and it's monochrome. A new firmware update enables traffic channel decoding of TETRAtrunking networks - the first handheld radio in the world to offer this! ![]() The radio features revolutionary features such as automatic recognition and decoding of multi-digital modes including the ever popular DSTAR, DMR and Yaesu's System Fusion, thanks to the use of an Altera Cyclone IV FPGA and Analog Devices Blackfin DSP for demodulation. The AOR AR-DV10 is a full Software Defined Radio radio with an IF of 47.25MHz. That's a serious difference! And bear in mind that the FT-550 is also a transmitter! So considering the two radios share the same case and the same screen, I'm hoping that what's inside the AR-DV10 is mighty special. Having applauded the benefits of the matching radios, I should also admit to being ever so slightly miffed by the fact that these two radios, stood side by side look identical but one costs £155 and the other costs £995 □ ![]() It also means that I get to share the Yaesu's accessories (such as battery and chargers) with the AOR. That's not a bad thing - I've previously boasted about the Yaesu's FT-550's superb build and finish. Side by side, they're almost indistinguishable.
