Great entry level radio
It's a decent radio. Checked output with watt meter, over 4.5 watts just under 5. Been using it about 2 weeks and have hit repeaters about 26 plus miles away. 220 band is quite around here but picking up repeaters over 20 miles away. Great beginner or entry level radio to start with. Chirp is the way to go, programming is a breeze. Added bl-5l battery and triband antenna, nice additions. I'm taking antenna to work to test swr, I will update review.update: sent antenna back, I tested antenna with antenna analyzer at 146MHz the SWR was 3.56, at 220Mhz the SWR was 5.12. Surprisingly the factory supplied antennas with this radio measured 1.48 at 146MHz and 1.49 at 220MHz. I did not test at 70CM band. For a sub $60 tri band handheld I'm extremely pleased with it. The BL-5L 3800mAH battery is a great extended use addition.
