HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you know it's not a Cadillac

HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you know it's not a Cadillac. Monthly prize draw.PLUS1) Allows control and use of FOUR frequencies with just one antenna2) SMALL footprint - takes up very little space in your cabin or car3) COST4) Very low power consumption and easily plugs into cigarette lighter or vehicle power port . (VERY MINOR) PROBLEMS 1) The strain relief on the microphone cable touches the right handle. I put a strain relief on the cable and solved the problem. 2) The handles are now securely attached. They only rely on their rubber and tend to loosen until you get used to them. 3) Manual sucks, but between guidance and intuition, it's not hard to use the radio. 4) When scanning (for the four frequencies shown) you will be frustrated if the radio jumps from the frequency you are QSOing on to another frequency if another frequency is active when you or your QSO partner press the button let go. To solve this problem, exit scan mode or switch another channel to an inactive frequency during your QSO.
