Great radio, easy to program, feels solid.

More than a day of life on one battery marshaling a rally.
This thing is awesome the only thing i had to do is call and get help to get it out of locked mode

Great value for your hard earned money.
The value for all the accessories is really great.
Would recommend either way for the price.
Overall, it is good value for the money, even with the poor second antenna.
Packaging/appearance
Especially being able to chirp your unit from a phone be sure to thoroughly check packaging some items hide .
3- was in the box , never opened for years.
Competitiveness
I don't much care for the shoulder mic or ear bud - probably won't use them - but that's just a personal preference.
