@kr1st @M5OTA It’s always way cheaper on that side of the pond.

hamshop.nl currently lists the Optima at €1,795—that works out to $2,021. You can claim a €200 cashback on that, bringing the effective price down to $1,796.

It’s just that I’m already well equipped with an FT-991A and an FTdx10, and I really couldn't get away with telling "Parliament" that I wanted to add this one to the shack. 😜
