Fantastac LiL Radio

I love this little radio. I am 20+ miles from Fort Worth and I can hit two repeaters in town on high power. On low power I talk on the Johnson County, Texas repeater about 5 miles away with no problems. The batteries go for about 4 days of regular use and because I use rechargeable AAA,, cost is not an issue. I would recommend this radio to anyone who wants an easy to carry and dependable vest pocket rig. KE5QAR

The DJ-S41 is a phenomenal little handheld for accessing local 440 repeaters. I live near Cleveland, and am able to actually hit about 6 or so repeaters from inside my house. Audio reports were fine too. It's amazing what 340mW of output power can do on UHF. Of course, if you live in a rural area a good distance away from 440 'machines', this rig will not cut it.

Poor antenna performance makes this radio of not much use.

For size and the money you can't beat it. I bought the radio years ago for about a $100 at R/S. I used it in the Philly area and it did well.(even on 50mw) I am now in the NYC Metro area and have every memory filled up. I can hit just about all the repeaters in the city and fold it up and put it away. Its fantastic here in NYC. What else can I say.

Great Mini Handheld

For what it is it is a GREAT little radio. Sure you might not hit far away repeater. So far where I am atI've been able to hit atleast 10 repeaters. I am sure there is more I can hit. Even at *low* power I've been able to hit half of those repeaters.
No regrets on buying this phone. Manual is not the best. Manual is only one page. But good radio.
