Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very versatile portable transceiver

This is a highly versatile portable transceiver. They are FCC approved for 70cm ham radio and can be easily programmed for this purpose using CHIRP software. You can easily find that with Google. Other applications such as GMRS are not FCC approved, but devices are poised to provide that service and again, CHIRP would be a great benefit. Devices work in scan mode, which makes them great for surveillance purposes. You can also disable transmission with CHIRP to prevent a child or person from getting into hot water without a license. and keep it. I left one in the car for a couple of weeks, turned it on and got full power. Although they only output a few watts, that's all you need for 70 cm line of sight or repeater operation. what they skillfully do. If you want bells, whistles, counters, spend ten times as much. These units do what they need to do and do it well.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Almost everything is in order
