Of all the radios I have owned, never have I wanted to punch the designer more than the guy that designed this one. This radio has some major annoyances. Field programming is tough unless you remember some quirks about how to get the radio into VFO mode and how annoying the menu is deployed. The audio quality is terrible. The internal speaker makes clear speech sound like rattle and mush. Connecting an external speaker doesn't really help much. The audio stage in the receiver is crap. I would not recommend this transceiver.
