Found this review scrappy and incomprehensible. I reviewed this review as horrible.
-
For $100 this radio works just fine. 12 watts. Works on GMRS and local simplex channels. Calm down and deal with the fact its not a Motorola APX for $4000.

I bought 6 of these things for movie props. But then, I started using one on GMRS simplex and repeater offsets. Also, as a scanner for some local EMS frequencies. They outperformed UV5R's on just about every level. Receive audio quality, TX audio quality, battery life. Your review sounds like Motorola paid you to make it. 😂

Not an objective evaluation. Radio works great, true 12W out, not sure what you were expecting from a $100 clone of a $4,000 radio. Grow up

Picked one up for $109, works great on ham radio repeaters! Signal reports have been great. It is what it is, just because it looks like a Motorola APX-8000 don't expect it to operate as a P25 portable.

The first time I saw these radios I thought it was an April fools joke...
-
Why don’t you tell us how you REALLY feel?
-
These are EXCELLENT for props. Expect to see them on your favorite television and movies... 😊

Hey, Dick...It is a NOVELTY RADIO!
-
This is one of the worst "reviews" i have ever seen.. why was this reccormended to me lol
-
Wow... Sounds like you need a Snickers bar and then maybe lighten up over a $100 radio... Why did you buy it if you were this convinced it would be such a horrible/crappy deal? Oh well. I think I'll go buy one now.

Do I need to buy the software to pick up channels/frequencies??
-
It does have WFM 64-108MHz, by holding in the 0 Zero key and to return to regular channel mode by holding the zero key again, also menu# 40 puts it in the scrambler mode, you can change from the memory channels to VFO by holding the top right key that looks like a computer monitor, and hold it in again to switch between memory and VFO ,to put the Radio in to scan mode hold in the star key on the bottom left on the keypad, this Radio doesn't do DMR or P-25, analog only W0TRJ Apr 2024

How do you change the main from a to b?
-
Do you need the programming software/cable to put in Alpha Tags?
-
Hello sir, I was wondering if you could make a video on how to program channels and lock them in and save the channels… 🙏🏼
-
So I have a couple questions because I’m new to the mmdvm hotspots and pi-star and brandmister. Can this radio be used with a mmdvm hotspot and be used to access pi-star or brandmisters talkgroups

How do you program or add channels to it
-
you can turn the radio around in the holder to HEAR the speaker alot better...
