KM4CFT’s newly announced CFT1v2 five-band QRP CW transceiver adds two operating-oriented changes: an onboard SWR meter for checking an antenna match and a small passive internal speaker. The announcement says the SWR function is a new firmware-and-hardware feature, while the speaker is intended as a limited-volume convenience rather than a substitute for headphones or an amplified speaker.
The primary HamGadgets listing confirms that the CFT1v2 kit is available and identifies it as a KM4CFT product. For portable CW operators, the changes may be most relevant when evaluating a compact field radio’s antenna-checking and audio options.
