No charger, best for portable audio and video

Looks like a good radio but the used box also appears to be damaged and missing a charger. I'm leaving the state in 3 days and I can't bring it back. one

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Almost never

Reliable, cheap, quality!

They work great, are very reliable and are a great price. We use them for off-road exploration in the mountains where connectivity is important. These do their job!

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • Mostly ok but...

The radio is well priced but that's it

The radio works but not with the programming cable. If you just don't want a radio with no programming, then that's fine. With the Baofeng UV-5R you get the same for less money.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Only available in white

Great little radio for the price

8 watts of power in a small package. It takes a little practice to master all the features and functions. How I learn something new every time I use it. The whole family has a version of this radio and we often use it when we travel. Overall I would say this is the best radio station for the money.

Pros
  • Test for a year
Cons
  • There are cons

Excellent radio. Code plugs are no fun.

real! good radio. The speaker is loud and clear. Programming with code stubs is not optimal. I bought a cheap MMDVM board here at Revain for +/-$30 and the combo works great (with Pi-Star) for a DMR hotspot. Batteries last forever. days between charges. Good size for my hands, programmable buttons, comes with programming cable. Definitely a 5 star block. KJ7WWB

  • The best in his niche
