I just received this stand today, works and fits well with my orange Tecsun PL-368.

What a nice and simple little stand! Thanks for sharing this, Markku. This would work (I assume) with any of the CountyComm and Tecsun Portables with a similar form factor.
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Markku (VA3MK), who shares a link to this new Belka-DX speaker option from Mobimax:
This speaker option is similar to the one we featured a few months ago, but keeps the larger 2200 mAh battery pack and has fold-out legs. The compromise is the case will be a bit thicker/deeper than the speaker option without the larger battery and fold-out feet.
We’re talking about a pretty small radio, though, so I think this will be another great option for the excellent little Belka-DX.
I will plan to check out one of these in the near future.
Thank you for the tip, Markku!

Finally, Markku notes that there is now an IC-705 Remote application on the Google Play app store.

Just letting you know that Icom has released new firmware for the IC-R30 receiver.
Please read carefully and follow all instructions:
https://www.icomjapan.com/support/firmware_driver/
Changes from version 1.10: Fixed the problem of when the ANL of the band that is not used is ON, while the Dualwatch function is OFF, the received DCR audio may not be output from the speaker.
This firmware is for the USA version that has a serial number beginning with “16”.
This firmware is for non-USA versions that have a serial number beginning with other than “16”.
Thank you for the tip, Markku!
