A: Sure! Here are some customer reviews for this radio:
- "In the $30 radio category you don't expect a whole lot. And that is to be expected. You want great audio, spend $100, want super clear menus and instructions, spend $100 or more. Want a cheap radio to monitor the bands, to include airband in this case, something the Feng doesn't do. Then this might be it. This is a great entry radio that has more features than the BaoFeng UV-5R and has a better screen and menu."
- "These radios do so much for the money, you can receive all over the place and transmit on legal ham bands and other places, the build quality is good."
- "I know this is a cheap radio, but my one star review is for the seller. When they respond with a cut and paste from the manual after I sent a detailed request for help. I am still waiting on response for some questions. Some of my problems with the radio are the same as others in the reviews so the seller must know its not just one or two buyers."
- "For the price, it's hard to beat this radio, and given its wide receive range down into 6 meters, it's a better buy than the UV-5R. It's also extremely easy to program, which is a rarity for HTs. On the downside, as other reviewers stated, there are some unpleasant harmonics during transmit however I was only barely able to pick them up. Nevertheless, you might have issues in a crowded environment with interference."
- "The boxes were opened on both radios we received. The battery was installed, the plastic was missing from the radios displays. The lanyard has snags in the fabric and they were all twisted as a result. The biggest complaint for me on these and the Quansheng UV-K5 (same radio, different name). When you scan, the backlight remains ON the entire time you are scanning. The entire time you are scanning, the backlight remains ON which kills the battery, over and over, more charges, which shortens battery life."
