Pros & Cons
Pros
Easy to use and easy to program manually or with the chirp software. This radio packs alot into a small package.
It can also be set to 4 or 8 watts. My swr meter tells me that i'm only pushing 6watts to my 771 antenna, but hey, it's better than 5 watts.
This radio is fantastic! It just keeps working. Radio feels good in your hand.
Couldn't be happier with my purchase. Price is excellent. If this performance level is what you are needing. Less than half the cost of a replacement battery for my radio.
Cons
Display on this unit deserves to be a black lettering or white background. They also need to be reprogrammed which is a pain. Haven't bothered with it for ages.
They are fine for emergency throw in the glove box use but be aware, you will he throwing spurious emissions all over the place.
Highlights
Quality
This radio was very well built very solid works outstanding i recommend
The radio is very sturdy, easy to use and has very good sound.
After a few tries, i found if you insert the battery with a little elbow grease, it snaps into place and the radio turned on.
Love this radio but unfortunately even after purchasing a better antenna it would not work for the 15 miles we needed.
Price
Lot of functionality in a small price.
Overall i really enjoy what i am seeing with this little radio@ it seems a great value for the money i spent!
If you want to be fully compliant, it is that difficult or expensive to get licenses.
Shipping
Delivered unlocked, so works on ham or gmrs frequencies with no modification required.
