Deal Details
Great little radio, perfect for listening to 2m or 70cm, or as an entry-level VHF/UHF rig once you are licensed.

Chirp compatibility makes this easy to set up and program repeaters, etc.

The display can be rotated for different installation applications (e.g., on the dashboard under the dashboard), so that the speaker faces outwards.

The mobile antenna alone is worth about $25.

Note: I have been using this as my home base station for the last four months and have not felt the need to upgrade. People also tell me that it sounds great.

I wanted to get into ham and bought some cheap baofeng Amazon chinese handheld but couldn't understand the manual and how to set it up so I could actually hear channels. I probably should stay away from this and take a class / learn online first. lmao

The problem wasn't the radio , there is no one out there to listen to 99% of the time .
