Another week and more new products!
Welcome to the ML&S Something for the Weekend (no snow and 11°C).
Is this the start of our UK Spring? Walking with my Grandkids the other day (thanks Dan, my eldest son) I noticed we didn't need two pairs of gloves, two pairs of socks and an extra thick scarf, wrapped around our necks beneath the largest overcoats you've ever seen. Even more startling was this big bright yellow thing in the blue (yes blue) sky, surely not the sun?
Before we get to new products at Lynchy's, here's a nice tale of a very good customer of ours that kindly wanted to donate his Yaesu FT-991 to a special young radio ham. When he asked if we had anyone in mind, we didn't have to think too hard. We we always promote youth in Ham Radio though the RSGB and indeed directly. Tony my sales manager suggested a young fellow that came to our attention through YOTA, "Youngsters on the Air", winning various awards, builds his own equipment and is totally immersed in Ham Radio. I won't spoil the rest of the story but check out this weeks SFTW video 'ML&S present customers Yaesu FT-991 to a young Radio Ham enthusiast'.
The Youngsters on the Air (YOTA) programme is an IARU Region 1 initiative aimed at engaging youngsters in amateur radio, as well as supporting amateurs under the age of 26. For more information on how you can join the Youngsters on the Air YOTA program CLICK HERE.
AND NOW FOR NEW PRODUCTS!
Icom IC-705 Carry Cage
Spotted this splendid piece of "aluminium art" a month ago and after some negotiation with the company owners we are very happy to be able to offer this alloy Tactical Carry Cage for Icom's IC-705.
The ultimate all-band QRP radio needs ultimate protection when out it the field. Forget flimsy plastic appendages, this new bespoke design is specifically for the IC-705 and wraps around the entire body of the radio giving it strength & protection in one. Add to that a built-in carry handle, removable side protectors, all in a smooth hard black satin anodised finish. Available from these shores as quick as they get through UK customs!

Yaesu M-70 Desk Microphone
A new Desk Microphone from Yaesu to replace the MD-100a8x. Utilising a directional condenser microphone element specifically tuned to create clear crisp TX audio. Built-in switchable Low-Cut Filter for DX/Rag-chew selection. Available from March 2021 the estimated price is a very competitive £129.95 for those that order early.
STOCK ARRIVING SHORTLY
Good news on the high power Linear Amplifier front. Our friends Acom Designs in Bulgaria have been working overtime for us and shipping their latest batch of amplifiers before the end of February. Whilst most are pre-sold, (they usually always are) we may have a few left out of this little lot. These are on the despatch documentation: Acom 1000, Acom 1010, Acom 2000A, Acom 700S & Acom 1200S. Acom build standard is incredible and whilst I wouldn't promote whipping the lid off a piece of equipment with enough High Voltage to fry a chicken, if I was Acom I'd fit a solid Perspex top so you can view the engineering that goes into every hand-built model they produce.
Ciro Stealth Loop
Want to operate 40-10m but no room for an antenna? How about a remote controlled expanding diamond that looks more like an oversized car jack? Viviana in Italy (yes she is as lovely as her name suggests) has just shipped us 5 of these beauties and they could be the answer to your antenna woes. Better still, magnetic loops are far more immune to TVI and indeed QRM than the usual wire antenna in your garden - if you could put one up in the first place that is. Order for despatch today CLICK HERE.
Yaesu FTdx10 HF+6+4M
Only 2 weeks to go before the next delivery of FTdx10's arrive at ML&S. Like the Acom amps, most are sold but we managed to twist the factory's arm into sending us a couple more. Get your deposit in quick! CLICK HERE.
Lots more stock has arrived and we always book it in as fast as we can. Remember our stock indicator is LIVE on our hamradio.co.uk website but if you want to contact us to check when next delivery is due then call: 0345 2300 599 or email: sales@MLandS.co.uk.
That's it for this week folks, don't forget our Lynchy Weekend Webcast this Saturday LIVE and until next Friday, stay safe and keep playing Ham Radio!
