Bought 3 radios! 2 for use when hunting and one to have as a spare. These radios are good I’v used them for 3 weeks now and I sold one to a friend since I did not feel the need to have a spare radio. I didn't trust the quality before I got them. Now I do. The manual is not that simple to read and leave some details out. But there is so much written on the internet that a simple google will give you the answer faster than reading the manual. Manual 3 stars. Quality to cost is 5 stars easy. This is all bang for every buck. Some of my hunting buddies has ”quality” brands and some times have trouble reaching across the hunting ground. I have no such problems I hear every one and every one hears me. Battery time is good. I can listen to FM radio while waiting.

I'm not well versed in radio and I mostly use it as a glorified walkie talkie (pmr channels) but I can say that I'm very satisfied with it. It works as advertised. The communications are clear and the autonomy more than sufficient for me. I didn't tested the range. What I liked less is the loud "pop" sound that I get at the start of each reception with the earpiece I purchased with it, and it apparently switched to transmit mode when I connected it with the programming cable I also bought. This is probably a problem with the driver of the cable though, and it is possible to turn off the transmission and proceed with programming.

Being not so more expensive than UV-5R this radio is much better. In contrary to UV-5R there is no need for antenna replacement, if You will not try to squeeze it to the limit. Sound is clear and loud. Lots of configuration options.

The radio is very nice with all the great stuff that comes with the high dollar brands. I had only one problem and that was the flashlight came on and would not go off unless the battery was off the unit. I opened the radio and found a bridged solder joint on the LED. Cleaned it up and now it works like it should. I have no idea why there would be a flashlight on a handheld radio but if I need one when I have the radio its there.

After 2 weeks the sound is gone.
