It is another in an ever-growing line of low-power SDR transceivers.
It is carried by Ham Radio Outlet, (they project mid-September delivery)
is FCC approved, and will have repair facilities in the U.S. There
are some video reviews of it, along with a Groups.io page, and like
almost everything else, it has some good points and somebad points and
some missing features. It remains to be seen as to how well it will
sell. I don't see it as a direct competitor to the KX series though.

Personally, I wouldn’t touch this thing with a 10 ft pole. No battery; no ATU;
unknown specs; unknown, if any, support; non-standard connectors that won’t fit
anything else; and on. It looks “cool”, and that will certainly appeal to
some. But it’s more than the radio that has to be carried in the end, and
doesn’t come from a trusted source with a track record. Will you be able to
read the display in the sunlight?

It is certainly not a clone. It draws more RX current. It is a thinner. The
panadapter is built in.
I didn't spend enough time looking at it to form a judgement other than it
appeals to the same uses as the KX3 and is not a clone.

As someone who has one of these radios on order, I'd like to know if this
is fake news or true fact:
"This rig is copied from the KX-3. I was told this from a reliable source
inside Elecraft."
