It is an older 2m/440 rig. It works. The battery is not that difficult to change but a little digging is required. The back light for the display tends to go out. The stock microphone cord tends to crumble. The stock microphone is kind of flimsy. The radio itself is built pretty solid and provides a long reliable service life. Built in CTCSS for repeater operation.The cross-band repeat mod is not really worth the trouble since it provides only simplex (one way) cross band.The extended transmit mod does not allow for extended 70cm operation, it will not cover FRS/GMRS.
