very nice radio
The unit I purchased was a very good quality radio. I did NOT use the programing cable. I went ahead and programed the channels by hand. It was easy enough. There are many sites that can show you step by step how. Be very careful of the channels you use as they may require a license. Also be aware of the differences between narrow and wide frequencies. I was unable at first to communicate between my FRS headset and the radio as I was on wide band. Once set to narrow it worked very well. I have easily talked over 2 miles in a normal suburban environment. I gave the ease of use a 4 star only because it was not ready to talk on FRS channels right from the box. I would recommend this radio.
