Quality


I keep purchasing them not only because of quality and performance


Appears to be good quality for the price


Also 1 of the 3 i ordered had a minor issue with the speaker


They are inexpensive consumer radios with build quality comparable to a toy and you need to handle them accordingly

Price


But this price is a great radio


I was scared to make this purchaseeven though such a good price

Competitiveness


Excellent service for such a low priced item


Solid product at a fraction of the price of other big name radios


After almost 6yrs of use from fishing hiking and camping mainly for weather and tidal update the built in speaker has died


They perform the basics you want in a handheld amateur radio
