Yaesu radio clone unsuitable for Vegetarians





The MML UV-8DR  Multi-band Transceiver offen seen on ebay is a very inexpensive copy of the Yaesu VX-8R.


I currently have one of these on its way to me from the people's republic but I'm not getting too excited just yet - it hasnt arrived.

It seems that this clones is quite a good copy of the original apart from the display and the inner workings although I did spot something earlier which is definitely not on the original Yaesu radio. Number 6 on the keypad BEEF ?!



One assumes that this button should read BEEP but there was clearly a cock-up at the factory!

Most amusing

A full review of the knock-off Yaesu will follow (if it shows up!)
