Highlights
Quality
For the price, functionality and quality you can't beat this radio!
I used it for a couple of weeks with the stock antenna that comes with the radio.
The audio quality is comparable with the other handhelds that cost much higher.
But i have had no issues with the radio.
Price
This radio is great and for the price you cant get any better.
Packaging/appearance
The only thing that i had trouble with was the 3800mah battery, it was not meant to be used on the uv-5re.
Competitiveness
If your a prepper i would recommend at least two of these in your bug out bag and one around home for any emergencies.
Programming is a hasslevolume isn't greatoverall, nice for beginners at a low price.
