[Yaesu] Any word on VX-8R availability?

[William S. White]

The VX-8R was FCC approved on July 7.
FCC ID: K6620295X20
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=282330&fcc_id='K6620295X20'

Well, last week the notice on the Universal Radio page said the expected
delivery date was "late fall" but has been changed back to the "This device
has not been approved by the FCC...." Hummm?????
