FYI... I received my new RP on Monday 6 Mar... still experimenting with it, however I have gotten some pretty impressive hits on Ka-band (confirmed by LEO's)... I'm pleasently surprised with its sensitivity on Ka-band . My early impressions seems to indicate that it may be a little better than my XP on Ka-band, which is remarkable considering it lacks an LNA!.. I really like the size, quality, amber display etc. I wish it had the option of All Voice Alerts off (coming in the next update). I am concerned about the testing results on the new bata firmware as I'm not reading very encouraging posts so far...
