There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Audio quality for me is very good. Note I have limited experience with radio brands.
Currently have no complains.
Software to program:
Couldn't make chirp work with it, even though there seems to be some work around to make it work.
I used the software from the manufacturer. Software could be better but it gets the job done.
I have only transmitted to repeaters using the maximum power and a small magnetic tram cheap antenna without any issue.
It will live always on my truck. Now commutes are more enjoyable having a consistent radio not just a handy.
Currently powering from lighter adapter, no issue.
All reviews about this radio I have seen on YouTube seems to be correct. The radio performs very good. If you have some doubts, pickup any YouTube video they all say the same thing and that it's what you'll get.
Probably wasn't necessary but I ran 16 gauge wire to a relay connected to the battery. The relay turns on with the key. I wanted to make sure the radio was getting all the current it needed without any voltage drop. The fuse is only 7 amps so it can't be using too much current.

After trying all afternoon to make it work I've given up and I'm returning it. I really would like to find one of these small form factor, dual band radios that works but they all seem to be a huge crapshoot, and they're difficult to program, so I'll probably just get another Yaesu.
