This little radio packs a lot of bang for the buck. Better than a motorola or harris two-way radio. Good build quality, and shipped safely and quickly.
Easy to program using chirp. Programming is straightforward. Only down side is that the users manual is nearly useless. Youtube and google are the best ways to figure out how all the functions work.
The radio is easy to use and sounds good into our repeater. Will be used for overland travel. This radio reaches a great distance inside.

Competitiveness
Case seems well built like a wouxun uvd1p.
Hands down best value deal on amazon or the radio market.
I just used a real programming cable that i already had with a ftdi chip in it.
2 antennas, two 2800mah batteries, a mic, a headset and on sale .
