Great practice/beginner transmitter			Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Works very well, and is incredibly easy to record a message. The timing is very consistent, starting every 60 seconds after being turned on. The duration of the message depends on how long you record. Used with a rubber ducky it has a range of about a half mile, line of sight, assuming a tape-measure antenna and average HT. Same with a turnstile. A normal 9-volt transistor battery lasts for a very full day.

Works Great!			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have owned one of these Squawk boxes for quite some time and only recently fielded it for local fox hunts. It runs practically forever (over one week at 20 secs on every 3 mins)on 6 NiMh AAA batteries. Mounted in a cast aluminum case with BNC connector and whip, case is covered with camo tape. Small, easy to hide and makes it tough for the hunters to spot visually. Congrats to Bob,WB6EYV for a great product.

OK but to pricey			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have two and they work well - but do not try and change the frequency straps. The serious flaw in the device is it is missing a SMA thru-hole connector pattern in the PCB for a jack installation option - the two wire hanging from the PCA just doesn't cut it. I have mine mounted in an old Band-Aid box painted and wrapped in cloth cammo tape - what a devil to spot. At these new high prices my $99 IC-Q7 with a cheap $9 DVR is as good.

nice			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Tiny and works for short to medium range hunts 'as is', and they have a small 1 watt amp you can add to extend range. Customer service and support are second to none, with excellent email response. Can be used for t-hunting, balloon payloads, or even repeater beacons, since the audio and PTT can be ported externally. I slipped mine with a 9V battery into a small pill bottle and its now nearly waterproof! All I'd have to do would be to seal it with silicone around the holes where the antenna wires come out. I have range tested it, but our club has not yet used it in a t-hunt. I'll post later after the fun!
