I am ham radio operator myself and familiar with radios. I bought for my wife's vehicle so we can communicate at the campsite. Construction design, Material selection is way stronger than mass produce chinese made brand. I am very happy about the fact my wife only has to deal with microphone which is easy to use. my only request for next model will be hand mic size and design so I can easy to hold to operate but very minor problem on my end.
I was looking for a radio to purchase that wouldn’t take up space and this is the perfect fit. I was able to mount under my dash and used RJ45 panel Mount extension to move the mic to the perfect spot.
