Shipping

Showed up fast and worked as advertised.

Packaging/appearance

Came with everything you need to use it straight out of the box.

Competitiveness

I have bought three different baofengs and there are absolutely a great deal.

Everyone has they're own preference but so far the baofeng is a fine choice.

The good thing is they develop as much power as any brand of radio from the cheapest to the most expensive ones you can buy.

I agree with the other engineers that experimented with these radios.
