Good for its purpose
As a cheap entry level radio it fits the need. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some of the higher end radios, but it provides the newbie a chance to see if they even like Ham radio without breaking the bank. Do yourself a favor and order the Nagoya antenna for it. Though the factory antennas work, it is a pain in the ass to carry and change out the antenna based upon the band you want. Get the real programming cable and download CHIRP. CHIRP is the official form of programming software for this radio. Adjust your bandwidth, frequency step and the squelch settings. From the factory the squelch settings are worthless. All these things can be adjusted within CHIRP. Don't forget to save the factory program file and don't use it except to restore some setting you screwed up.As far as overall, I love the little radio, I can take it with me in environments that would make me nervous to take my Motorola (why abuse a $1000 radio?)
