Matoa ISina 5 Band HF
We live in very exciting times for new Amateur products. You have only got to blink these days and a new rig appears on the horizon.
It makes a change not to see the normal Chinese output, but this time what appears to be from Indonesia.
Specification is sparse at the moment, but 5W QRP and 5 wide HF Bands on offer:
1. Band1 3-5 MHz
2. Band2 6-8 MHz
3. Band3 11-14.5 MHz
4. Band4 15-23 MHz
5. Band5 24-30 MHz

I have also seen them being traded on ebay.com
Price appears to be around $250
It is nice somebody is making affordable radios. I was pushed away from Ham Radio by my family and was told “Ham Radio’s for rich people”. (My dad did not like rich people…)
Radios have always been prohibitively expensive, even used ones. This is a breath of fresh air.
I have one on order. Looking forward to trying it out. On the YouTube videos, the audio sound sgreat
I try to contact the company without result.
Even the website is offline.
Not a good start.
