I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

Plugging into an elongated antenna, poor selectivity, as a result, filthy sensitivity in the city.
BUT, I compare with FT-60 and VX-8. The price is almost an order of magnitude.
In a calm environment, it normally opens turnips, the modulation is not ice, but it deserves a solid three for intelligibility.
Indulge in 2 ranges - that's it. With a strong desire, you can use it for work, the question of service life, but for this money .

Pros

There are a lot of things, and even an FM receiver is a security guard's dream! 2 bands, you can listen to radio pests, and even communicate through a repeater. 2 meters is much better in the forest (although LB is better, of course). Many windfields operate on 2 meters - and this is one of the most accessible stations to keep in touch. A sane battery for the money.

Cons
