review
This is similar to the Yaesu FT-8900. The speaker is in the main body and not the detachable control head. The left side has all four bands while the right is 2m and 70cm only. It also will receive from additional frequencies outside of the listed transmit range. Single antenna port. Sensitivity on the receiver is very good.
You can program this rig from a computer using the special USB cable. The cable that comes with it is a hacked bootleg knockoff that the Chinese cloned from the well known FDDI chip. The programming software does work, but is crap quality. I have used a Baofeng programming cable with good results.
firmware variants
Later version is known as the "Plus" model which has an updated firmware that fixes known issues and user complaints.
programming
Anyone else get sick of stupid Youtube videos? I like to read it in writing. So I am going to write up some reading for you to read when you want to program your rig.
