Highlights
Quality
I keep purchasing them not only because of quality and performance
Appears to be good quality for the price
Even with the battery detached i ended up crossthreading one of the screws and didnt realize it till it was too late
Also 1 of the 3 i ordered had a minor issue with the speaker
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
