Pros

This amazing radio is selectable between 10w and 2w. It comes with an ac plug and has exceptional battery life. Battery easily lasts all day.

This handheld transmit/receive ham radio is an awesome tool for the hobbyist ham radio operator. It offers private calls between radios, and so much more. Only downside is that it is uhf only. I know most dmr repeaters are on uhf, but not all.

Shipping


Radioditty customer service was able to walk me through via emails and did a fantastic job, can't say enough about their help !


It arrived well packaged to protect from any shipping damage.


I contacted customer service with a cable issue, and 'irene" responded quickly by email and followed up until the issue was resolved.

Competitiveness


I am going to go to a tech that deals in ham operators and repeaters to see if he can set this up for my specific channels i want.


I was hoping this would be easier to program than the very similar anytone uv878 model.


But, it is dmr, and that's the best feature.
