Quality

Build quality on these radios is phenomenal.

This is a 2 way ham radio transmitter, it's well built, has a removable battery!

So it looks like this is a common thing and manufacturer are slowly transitioning to this method of charging now.

The instructions appear thorough, however, it is printed so small that i cannot make out the icons at all.

Price

Great little handheld, don't know how they can make these so inexpensively.

Love this radio - it does everything you need it to do for a more than reasonable price.

Still a good bang for the buck, just not what it claims to be.

So, for under $ 40, i'll take it.

Shipping

And to mention it arrived on time!

Competitiveness

My local ham group recommends similar (older models) by this same maker for their cost-effectiveness and good performance.

The meter is close to what baofeng had advertised claim.

Larger overall size, similar size and weight to the old motorola 200 i use at work.
