Price
Its been a long time waiting for a dual band, aes-256 encryption capable, ip67 rated dmr radio at a good price point.

Shipping
It took me quite a while to get it doped and in fact, i finally had to download a code plug from the ailunce support site.
Packaging/appearance
This radio is packed with features pretty much comes with everything you need to start talking on dmr .
The kit i received, pictured above, included a programming cable and a bluetooth speaker mic.
Competitiveness
On the dmr side, the audio is night and day better than the r3ts and hd1.
The cps is not perfect but it works like the cps for the r3ts and hd1.
