First of all, this device is an amateur radio, not as Partial touted a PMR device, although one could spark with this device on PMR channels, however, is prohibited due to the high power of 0.8W measured and 3,7W in Germany , here is the limit at 0.5W. The device makes the price a really good impression, the "Torch" is a nice gimmick, and extends to the door lock can find out. The modulation is clear, but a bit small and quiet, rather "good" PMR height. The software chirp and a suitable data cable in the network freely available to the radio can be programmed quite good, directly on the device you can not programming, the data cable is therefore mandatory. On the data cable connection you can eg. connect a headset. The operation on the device is very simple, a rotary switch for on / off / volume, a rotary switch for selecting channels (the channels are even popular, well when things are dark is), a push button for the flashlight, and a push button for the transmission power switching, to the talk button, which it was, in principle no longer than a standard PMR device. The antenna can be unscrewed and replace it with another, I have the only 4.5cm long Nagoya NA-805 off screwed me, that is the spark very handy, and to 2Km is sufficient for some longer distances, I have approximately 10Km geschaft over empty space, I switch on the Nagoya NA-771 40cm long. The original antenna circuit at 3-5km. For the price (I paid under 20) I can only recommend the device.
