Very good radio

I just received the M802 from Ham Radio outlet.
After using it for a while, I think it is a great super, 150W, DSP radio.
Although it doesn't offer all the bells and whistles associated with ham radios (and the many, many buttons, knobs and switches we are all accustomed to) it offers the basic features:
- excellent voice squelch which only opens when you have voice on a frequency (which means that if you can hear them adequately, you can work them);
- 150W of power output;
- Ham radio settings and memories;
- USB, LSB, CW, ANM, FSK and other modes given in the international J3E codes;
- Made for commercial use and thus very reliable;
- Large easy to read screen;
- Supplied with remote head, cables and accessories including speaker!;
- Excellent audio, both received and transmitted (as reported by worked stations);
- Also bought the AT-140 tuner and installed them on my Jeep Wrangler for effortless tuning while driving European roads;
On top of ham use, I can use it on my boat, thus it is a great all round radio.
Well worth the money (costs a little more than the IC-7000.
