Price

Overall really nice for the price and i would recommend.

This is a great little radio at an amazingly affordable price.

Dont forget to get your gmrs license from the fcc before you use these, it is only $35.

Don't get me wrong it's no icom $500.

Packaging/appearance

The product is packed in a decorated card stock box suitable for gifting if wrapped.

All of the accessories are neatly packed in sleeves or baggies.

Competitiveness

Unlike its cousins, this radio cannot be programmed to transmit on frequencies other than its pre-programmed channels.

Waaaay better than any other 'walkie talkie' style blister pack radios and about the same price.

Additionally, there is a very capable receiver and memory channel bank to store and receive channels of interest in other bands.
