Great price. Good build quality, to my surprise. Great features- many settings. Nice two channel monitoring. Great distance. Good internal speaker. Works with many different bands. These do not work on 1/2 watt, so if you are on an FRS frequency, you will be using more power than legally allowed (even on low), so be careful. Anyone using this as a HAM radio, the Nagoya Whip Antenna is great. The dual-band antenna that comes with the radio is pretty good as well for a stock antenna. Buttons are sturdy, screen is bright, volume / on-off knob is nice to turn and looks even better. Battery lasts a LONG time! Charger is quite cheesy, doesn't sit well in the charger, but rarely have to charge because the battery lasts quite a long time. I can use this for days on end with the same battery. I absolutely recommend this. I looked into Kenwood and Motorola but they cost an arm and a leg, and I was skeptical to get this, but it's actually not bad at all and I'm glad I bought it. Just know that you do need a HAM license to broadcast using this, or a GMRS license if you are broadcasting using those channels, and remember that you are broadcasting with excess power even on low on FRS channels, so be aware of your usage.
