Good value for the price
I upgraded from an old radio and this is much better. The display is easy to read. The only thing I miss is a remote mic option, but I knew that before buying.

Good radio, but speaker could be louder
The radio works well and reception is good. However, at high speed the speaker volume is not enough. Still, for the discount, it's a solid buy.

Just okay
It's a decent radio but I had trouble scanning channels. Maybe I need to read the manual more carefully.

Solid performer
I've been using this radio for a month now. It's easy to operate, and the backlit keys are great for night use. The radio transmits and receives clearly. The DSC panic button gives me extra confidence. The only negative is the instruction manual could be clearer, but I managed. Overall, a good buy.
