This is the second BaoFeng that I have bought. That doesn't mean that I like them, it just means that the price to issues ratio is acceptable. And, hoo boy, as usual, this HT has issues:1. The radio is advertised as having access from 220 to 260MHz. Not so, it only does 220-225MHz. Sure, 225.001 to 260MHz is out-of-band, but it would have been nice to be able to LISTEN to them. It's the main reason why I bought it!2. I confirmed through testing that the battery charge indicator is non-functional. Every BaoFeng that I have ever used or bought has had this issue. I believe that this is not a bug. The indicator is merely there for show only. Be warned, people! Don't rely on the indicator; swap in spare batteries on a schedule.3. Not really an issue, but this HT boots up more slowly than all of my previous radios by 50%. Either this model has a slower processor or the firmware is expanded, probably the latter.4. The Btech branded CH-5 Charger that's provided will only charge Btech branded batteries, not third-party batteries. That would crimp me except that I have other chargers that I can use instead of the one provided. Again, be warned, people!In closing, all I can say about this average radio is that the price is right and it is "good enough" for now. Or, as the Chinese put it: Chabuduo. Caveat emptor, says I.
