It is a very good cheap dual band machine. I have been using it for almost six months as a crossband repeater with a step down and it has not caused me any problems.

One of the best wireless for the specific money. Great range especially if you also use the large antenna included in the package. Quite high quality and durable. Satisfactory battery. Its menu is a bit different from what I was used to. It looks like the Baofeng's but it was difficult for me at first until I got used to it in order to navigate through the channels I wanted (over 60 channels) and even more difficult for me to input names for each channel, since it doesn't have the alphabet on the keyboard but the "keyboard" is on the channel knob (next to the volume adjustment). Once you get used to it, it becomes easy. Despite all this, 5 stars because it deserves it and more!

From experienced amateur radio operators that I know, they have told me that I made a very good choice and yet it is possibly one of the best, as I managed to communicate from Chios to Evros and northern Greece. It is very good and I recommend it to all of you.

It is not resistant to light falls that will occur in a wireless. Quite common is for the screen to break internally from the vibration. It happened to me and to many acquaintances. Let's see if there is a replacement that does not cost as much as the wireless. Baofeng may not be better in quality and may lag a little in power, but they are definitely more durable than the said wireless.

It does not output 10 watts! In HI mode it outputs 6.8 watts and in low mode it outputs 4.8 watts! I measured it! I regret buying it!
