Recently licensed, and purchased first radio from Universal radio. Was looking for an affordable alternative to baofeng etc. HT's. from a US dealer.
Settled on a Yaesu Ft 4xr. I realize this radio is also Chinese, but having the Yaesu engineering, warranty and support for less than 70.00 made an easy choice.
Rec'd the radio in less than a week. Several accessories were back ordered, but Universal beat their estimated time by about a week.
Studying for the general, and hope to test once things are back to normal, and will definitely be shopping them for the next step.
