Better quality and range than i expected for the price.
Ordered two, and a little hiccup, but the customer service is outstanding and the product isawesome!
Since other reviews cover build quality i’ll bring up the one thing that really surprised me.
Price
But this price is a great radio.
Competitiveness
Excellent service for such a low priced item.
They make the best products at a great price!
After almost 6yrs of use from fishing, hiking, and camping, mainly for weather and tidal update the built in speaker has died.
Easy to program to hear radio frequency’s like fire, police, ems.
