Quality

Range is great voice quality is clear.

Excellent radio highly recommended for amateur radio use.

For once, when you put the extended battery on the radio, it doesn't tip forward to the verge of tipping.

Wattage is supposed to be 8 watts now vs 5 watts in the original unit.

Price

At ~$49, this is a great value.

As a ham, i really appreciate the affordability of these radios.

Great price, larger battery packs that store more power for longer operation time.

5w isn't much to scoff at considering there are $600+ ht's that max out at 5w.

Shipping

Showed up on time and everything works properly.

Packaging/appearance

Box was missing the 2 belt clips though.

Competitiveness

Much longer any any of the name brands ht from japan.
