Overview
New hams setting up a car or home station get a small dual band radio that programs from the front panel or a computer. Flip the screen to mount it upside down, switch bands from the mic, and talk hands free with VOX.
Owners get dual band coverage, CHIRP programming and flexible mounting in a compact box.
Who it's for
Beginners installing a first mobile rig will appreciate VFO mode and CHIRP. Operators comparing wattage will need to confirm power with the seller.
Pros and cons
- Front panel VFO programming
- Output power not listed
- Power supply sold separately
- Not water resistant
Performance notes
Coverage depends on antenna and power, and the latter is not given in the listing. The cooling fan holds operation stable under long transmits. Mic gain improves weak voices but raises background noise when set high.
