Great little radio.

I bought mine from Radioddity. Great solid little radio with good battery life. I used it with Buddistick for SOTA/POTA activation. The biggest advantage for me is the antenna analyzer. I don't have to carry a separate one around with me for setup. During our first outing with this radio on a resonant antenna, we established 20m SSB links in Florida and South Carolina, Canada. It weighs exactly 2 pounds. After an hour of CQ calls, transmit and receive, even with the analyzer, the battery was still at 90%. The screen is large and easy to read in the sun. decent sound. The only drawback is the charging time of the battery. Not so hot what's up. Radio, tuner, battery, analyzer in one small package. Very important.

Pros
