Yaesu FT-DX3000 has been discontinued
According to Yaesu Yaesu's discussion group on social media, the FT-DX3000 is the latest HF shortwave flagship radio model to be discontinued soon.
John Kruk is the National Sales Manager at Yaesu USA, so here's the real news. The message was released on Tuesday.
I've noticed that many retailers list it as a discontinued product. If there is an impression, I believe that this FT-DX3000 was first introduced at the 2012 Amateur Radio Hamvention Conference, so it performed well in the market.

Netizen reviews:
Paul Evans:
FTdx10 is irreplaceable. Tx/Rx relays are too noisy for CW use. Stupid design mistakes.
I wonder if the claim that the Kenwood TS590SG is discontinued is true?

Normal dealers are not in stock. I wonder if they will take your order and cancel it? Did anyone dig deeper into Kenwood? I am considering exchanging my S or SG.
Giulio César Pereira:
I have an FTdx-3000. This is a great radio station with excellent reception and functionality. It will soon become one of the classic radio stations in Yaesu.
Here comes the uncle:
Product delisting, for existing users, if the equipment maintenance in the future will face the dilemma of no accessories. Of course, with the popularization and maturity of SDR technology, high-end flagship radio products that bid farewell to the traditional circuit design mode will provide better services for amateur radios in a more efficient and convenient way, so product upgrading is an inevitable trend.
