The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

This model has taken me completely by surprise; I had no idea that for this little money, you could have anything of such high quality.

Satisfied "like an elephant." To everyone for a strike, for groups of mushroom pickers and fishers (pack the walkie-talkie in a plastic bag),................ Take it, you won't regret it!

After putting this device through its paces, I was able to determine that the reliable reception distance in conditions of a fairly deep mixed woodland, in dry cloudy weather, is approximately 1.8 to 2.0 kilometers.
About a 30% reduction is typical in damp forests.
After these restrictions are reached, communication abruptly stops for some reason, and does not even go through the stages of interference and crackling.

It was not feasible to retire in an open region that was further than 7 kilometers away, despite the fact that the connection was pretty confident and stable.

Pros

price/quality - 5 the high quality of the materials - 4 the extensiveness of the communication range - 5 Quality of the Connection in Relation to Distance (City) - 4 connection quality / distance (forest) - A total of four functionalities (including the available options). - 4 equipment - 5 Battery - 4 Z / U - 4 (the radio station is fastened securely in the "glass," and the battery, separately, is also fastened securely) 2 simultaneously listening channels - 5 PTT rocker for 2 channels - 5 flashlight (not very powerful, just 3 meters, but it can be really helpful at times) - 5 the headset has a swivel and a rim for both the left and the right ear, and it is quite comfortable to use. -5 points for the acoustic clarity of the headset and the microphone - 4 VOX (occasionally useful) - 5 subtone scan - 5 channel scan - 5 antenna - 5 etc.

Cons

protection against dust and moisture to the degree of 3 (not structurally provided). sensitivity of the microphone - 3 (when speaking straight into the microphone with 2 mm - 5) Z / U - 4 (the indicator of a fully charged battery does not work)
