Quality


Audio quality very good for both transmitreceive


This radio sounds great nice and clear and good range when paired with a good antenna


I have the prper software but it will not work loaded chirp to program basic channels and that worked


After the purchase i discovered the frequency range is locked out at the factoryto prevent illegal use on some frequencies

Price


Good deal 220 440 2 meter monoband radios


Best compact radio out on the market especially for the price


Very good price for a good radio


Less than half the price for the exact same thing

Shipping


Complete unlock info should be shipped with the unit from the usa supplier


I would purchase another unit if the supplier would unlock the unit prior to shipment or provide accurate info on how to unlock

Packaging/appearance


I am very happy arrived in good condition thankyou


The only complaint is the way tyt advertises the back lighting color on all the packaging making it appear yaesu like


The box says 6545w but the instructions actually say the power settings are hi65w med25w low10w

Competitiveness


Very good puts out 67 watts and the rx is better than my alinco


Keeps up with the more well known brands would definately buy again


Theres a company out there selling an identical twin repackaged copy for about 3x the price but youd be crazy to buy those radios


Even though the radio looks very similar like the btech 5001 it is a different radio on the inside completely different and menu
