Ok for a backup radio 
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

While it took a couple of trys to get the USB drivers installed and then some trial and errors to program the radio via the computer, it seems to be an ok radio. Some of the settings in the software are a tad confusing, but worked thru this. The rating of 4 is because I just purchased the radio. As for the charger, this is straight forward, and it works both on AC and DC.
For the price, and because even the higher priced dual band radios have had problems, and not needing a Dual Band that much, I went with this radio. For what I use the radio, the extreme wide tx and rx, without having to make mod's is a good feature. I was surprised to see that this radio has a cast alum. frame, which seems to shield the radio from computer interference. So will see what happens when the radio is put in the field. I did make the side button as Scan. Programing by had would be a task, but then so are the high priced radios, even worse.
