But it is only a ‘great value’ for me, if the amazon available ‘extended 3-year warranty’ is purchased.
Shipping
My only complaint is that if you are not a prime member, they delay shipping as a punishment.
Packaging/appearance
These also lightweight and the perfect the size for carrying or packing!
Competitiveness
And its backed by the baofeng brand.
Baofeng tends to issue a number of similar radios with a confusing range of model names.
In comparison, my yaesu ft5d is down 60 dbm at the 2nd harmonic.
