Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am new to HAM but wanted to see what this little guy could do, and not spend a ton of money.
With all hand held radios the problem is the small antenna. I can get ok reception but I live out in the sticks. I hooked up a roll up J- pole and wow. I cant wait to hook it up to a bigger antenna. You can have 100's memory set ups, several ways to scan. Like I said I am new and was a bit worried about all the different settings etc the book tells you step by step. I dont know how to do everything that this guy can do but you will pick up the regular settings easy enough. So far I have picked everything from police bands, EMS, Wendy's drive up, voice of america, voice of cuba, voices of I cant speak it, HAM chat, about 6 weather chans, regular AM/FM. I got all this from the regular antenna and the roll up J pole. This was in just a few days of messing around.
It is easy to travel with this. Throw it in the car, back pack, just a pocket. You can also order an AA battery pack so its easy to power it up if away from a charger.
Only thing not great are the small buttons, thats not a biggie since this thing is just bigger than a pager.
