Found this under https://www.eham.net/reviews/      ,      https://zfx-de.translate.goog/jpx-20/index.htm?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de    I want one! Looks better than my Cherokee AH-100 ever was.

Just how non-sensible is our government? Whelp, if I were to propose that all instruction manuals for binoculars, microscopes, & telescopes, should be required to include a translation in Braille, for the Visually Impaired, quite likely it might pass. However, I would also propose that the manual's end should include, "This device is not recommended to be used by the Visually Impaired.", just to be real.

Looks cool! I haven’t had a thorough look at the website so I probably just missed it, but what’s the price? It would be better if it supported 40 meters as well.

40 meters would be desirable of course, but then it gets to be more difficult to fit the appropriate transmit filtering (and related things) into the enclosure.

Having said that, the Elecraft KH1, which has been on the market for about a year I think, is similar in concept and covers 40 meters but the transmit is CW only. The decision to restrict the transmit mode frees up space in the enclosure for other things, like 40 meter coverage. Elecraft has always been more of a CW-focused company in any case. https://elecraft.com/collections/kh-line-transceivers/products/kh1-transceiver
