As you probably know, if you don't have an Amateur radio license, you cannot transmit on these radios. While I do have a GMRS license, I am not authorized to transmit on Amateur frequencies, so I didn't do so.Reception is very good and you can listen to anything that I am aware of without a license. This radio comes with a programming cable, which is nice. It also has a higher capacity battery than my UV-5R, which is also a big plus. Build quality is pretty good for a radio in this price point.Seems like a lot of radio for the money. 4 star rated and recommended.
