Reliable radio at a low price.

Pretty solid device if you need it quickly and cheaply. You always get what you pay for so I wasn't expecting much for the price but it definitely works great, is very small and fits my needs. Obviously it's not as good as mobile rigs from ICOM or other big brands, but for the price you can't beat it.

Pros
  • Delivers pleasant sensations
Cons
  • For a long time

Faulty radio, best for CB and two way radios

Radio #1 - didn't even last 2 weeks before the receiving part stopped. While the radio worked well for the first 2 weeks and was exactly what I was looking for, reliability was lacking. Scan function does not support channel or frequency lock. It has the typical Chinese scan resume, but there's no way to see the frequency or adjust the delay. Revain sends a replacement. I will update this review over time.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Good but not great

Impressive dual band radio in a small form factor

I installed this radio in my car as a replacement for a VHF only radio. It works well. The only reason I give it four stars for ease of use is that the display font is too small. Of course, this depends on where it is installed. Mine is on the center console under the dashboard. It can be read from the driver's seat, but I have to pinch a little. The speaker is on top, and the entire body acts as a heatsink. The radio has a small fan on the back for extra cooling needed during transmission. If…

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Exterior
