A well-appointed position, with a very nice look and sturdy construction, it is actually solid it feels. Nothing wrong in performance, very good reception, good sensitivity, and identical issue, even with the original antenna, and, as in VHF, UHF, amazing. Good quality audio, the HP front as the supplied headset. The VFO and well separated memories are finally good practices requires rekindle the position by pressing a button to switch from one to the other. This greatly limits the possibilities of handling errors, you program the memory to the VFO mode, then you return to memory mode and can entrust the job to an operator even some seasoned without fear of huge handling error. Indeed the covered frequency range is quite monstrous: 136/174 and 400/520, so a good safeguard is not superfluous. Ultimately very simple to program even without usb cable. I had read some reviews complaining about the difficulty of manual programming, no, I can not find the contrary. It simply asks to be precise. Indeed the number of features is quite extensive. Narrow or Wide band passing, possibility of programming Split frequency, programmable RF power of memory, but you can not order a 737 and complain about not having a Cessna cockpit. But frankly aillant read reviews on the internet I mattendais to a very sluggish programming when in fact it is very ergonomic and logical. Also covers the FM broadcast band. It is not ultimately harm at a time or through internet, rediscover in bed listening to FM Music France recalls the good old days ^^. Fail to limit a timer function and alarm clock but ... Good sensi also on FM. A LED flashlight function, not bad although it spits always convenient for barbecue parties that end at any store in the dark (hence the expression there is noise on the line). Lithium Batteries 1800mAh nothing wrong level autonomy. For the charging time that remains of the Li is not necessarily what there is faster but it is not binding, there are no tips for more effective memory so recharging every night and that's it played. The chargers have the damn air well, it not heat nor the charger or the battery, it goes into standby after reaching load, that to look smarter than some NiMH chargers, the transformer is super light. You can charge the spare battery position. Not really surprised by this given the price. Well it's still inexperienced user to post specifications are prone to unfortunate errors, so be careful it's not toys. Delivery nothing wrong it is clean and square, deadlines met. I recommend this site and product for experienced operators. Sometimes when buying big brands we are surprised by this or that detail that makes a little cheap, here it is the opposite, it's very surprising in a good way.
