Quality

Well built, works great and has good rugged looks.

We bought two and they are a high quality item.

I have had it powered on for 1 week straight and the battery has not needed charging.

The antenna connector is completely backwards from all other hand held units.

Boy was i surprised, by far the best money i've ever spent.

I love it, for the price is worth it

This is not your $250+ handheld, but is great for the price.

Shipping

Fine little radio and very fast delivery.

Was picking up traffic 60-70 mikes away.

Packaging/appearance

Did not come with earpiece like shown in picture!

Packs a huge punch in a small package.

Competitiveness

Very good product it is better than many other brand's product i bought

You can spend five times as much on a yaesu or a kenwood, and you won't get as many options.

For the price you will never beat this with a name brand radio.
