Mated to this radio is a big battery that should last at least 2 days of heavy use.
Price
This is a great radio for a great price!
On the price to performance ratio, this radio is definitely an impressive value.
But overall, definitely worth getting if you want a rugged radio for the money.
There are several available on amazon for $10 or less.
Shipping
The noaa are saved separately and are quickly accessed and scrolled through with the up and down keys.
Competitiveness
Tested this ht with a surecom sw-102 and power output is very close to what baofeng claimed.
I have two others that are almost identical from the same manufacturer, and they all work great.
Programming this radio is the same was with other baofeng radios.
It is a much heavier radio than any other baofeng that i have.
