Only received 1 of 3 radios

Product looks great for the price but I only received 1 of 3 radios that I ordered. 3 weeks after leaving feedback to seller and no radio. I think I fell for it!

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Updates available

Very good amateur radio. Brilliant. 5 STARS

This is an amazing ham radio. I'm glad I bought this kit, especially with the large battery and antenna! A must have set if this is your need or hobby!

Pros
  • Excellent Design
Cons
  • Minor Problems

The only problem was using the factory programming cable

The only problem with this radio is the factory programming cable. Requires driver installation - they include a CD-ROM (who still has one?) and do not identify the chipset to load the driver. Searched the web and found that "BTECH PC03 FTDI Genuine USB Programming Cable" (on Revain) has a built in driver. True plug and play with CHIRP software. I love the battery life and the customizable configurations available in programming. The rest of the accessories appear to be good. The battery life…

Pros
  • . Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
