They are noisy radios. Driving by power lines causes monitor to break squelch and generate noise. Transmissions on nearby frequencies also bleeds though.The sound quality is terrible. Receive audio seems distorted. The audio is also unstable while mobile due to vibrations from road travel probably as the result of poor solder joints internally. Looking inside the unit it is apparent that the soldering work inside is less than adequate. It is hard to understand what people are saying while traveling due to the poor sound quality. They really should have made it possible to attach an external speaker to this radio, a major shortcoming. Cross-band interference is a real problem with these. They are noisy radios. Driving by power lines causes monitor to break squelch and generate noise. Transmissions on nearby frequencies also bleeds though. It has a wide open front end with insufficient filtration.==Programming==The quality from one unit to the next varies to some degree. Your experience with the sound quality might differ to some degree. And finally, with the lower end radios this is still much better than trying to use your HT in a car, even when the HT is connected to an outside antenna. Furthermore, if this radio is stolen from your car you will not suffer as much of a loss as you would had it been an expensive Japanese radio. ==Overview==Illustrations of the radio and diagram.

MOM = Monitor! Press [EXIT/AB] to toggle between top or bottom receive frequency. On the hand mic press and hold [#/lock] to lock controls, press and hold again to unlock The large left knob on these doesn't work well. Change freq or chan using hand mic UP and DOWN buttons. ==programming==Press [V/M] to toggle between VFO and Channel Memory
