It has excellent reception. the display is great in direct sunlight and veryuch bright enough in the dark. it is chirp compatible. you can drive over this thing and take it to the beach. its affordable. i put a smiley super stick IV on it. I get NOAA channels and commercial radio great with it. USB C and loud speak with the noise cancelling output which cleans up fuzzy signals so well. it can be programmed without a computer easily enough. the screw on the mic/speaker door can be used with a coin or even just fingers. two things the belt clip could be improved. I havent been too worried because i have a holster if im ever going to be doing summersalts. I wish holding the up and down arrows would fast scroll....but you have to press. this is mostly an issue when naming channels. if you just use channel numbers or you use chirp for programming, it wont be an issue. it feels good in hand. sturdy like a commercial radio. talkaround and reversal. it doesnt look too flashy and has an old school vibe. you can save a channel from VFO mode without even going into the menu. just two buttons! custom startup and simple firmware updates. i hope they continue to support this radio and maybe add the hold to speed scroll navigation.

Youtube video's show the power & purity pretty good and I like the simple old school easy to read screen :) Feels good and sturdy in the hand. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceeds its Specs! *by S***0 on September 1, 2024* Unlike many radios that claim 8-10 watts, this radio truly is a 10 watt plus radio! It performs across the bands and even out of band. Easily modified for extended frequencies by a few key strokes while turning the radio on (see YouTube for instructions) for use on Marine and GMRS. The radio is LOUD! (Listen to above video) Has a nice noise cancelling mic that can be turned on or off with software defined buttons on the side of the radio. It has 3 power levels, low~2w med~5w & high 10 watts plus! The included rubber duck antenna is amazing, never going over 2.6:1 even out-of-band. Going to use this one on my boat and motorcycle because it is ip67 waterproof.
