Customers like the performance of the two way radio. They say it works great, flawlessly, and has a long range. The radio works well with all their repeaters, and the receivers work FB.

Customers are mixed about the audio quality of the two way radio. Some mention that it has very good audio, with a compact design and an excellent mic. However, others say that it barely breaks squelch and all they could hear was static. The radio is okay but not outstanding, while others say it's barely audible and fails after a hot summer. Signal reports are decent, but the radio is a little deaf compared to big 3 radios.

It does what they say it will do for "Well Under" $100.00!

It does what they say it will do for "Well Under" $100.00!
The radio works flawlessly. The transmit output exceeds the specifications. As far as durability goes the rubber/plastic used for the knobs has come off almost immediately and you have to be careful turning the knobs. See the picture, the knob belongs on the metal shaft on the right of the radio. The receivers works FB and all voice reports are 59. On simplex I am being heard and hearing five miles and hitting and keying the repeater almost 15 miles away, but the antenna is up almost 30'.That being said the instructions are terrible. You need to go on "you tube" and watch the videos on how to program and operate. Once I got it programed properly for me, It was money well spent. It does everything I expect out of a 2m/440 transceiver. The hidden bonus, for me, was that the power cord connection is same as it was on my "Yaesu" unit. I did not have to change power cords.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really like this radio
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2020
I like everything about this radio. I thought the menus were intuitive and the manual explained each function quite well. Unless you have to have more power than this one I think this radio is a tremendous value. It is less than half the cost of a radio that has more power. I plan on using it to communicate between Jeeps on the trails. This is everything I need.

Probably wasn't necessary but I ran 16 gauge wire to a relay connected to the battery. The relay turns on with the key. I wanted to make sure the radio was getting all the current it needed without any voltage drop. The fuse is only 7 amps so it can't be using too much current.
