Review: Excellent - Excellent product and excellent service.
Review: Very impressed for the price - I am an amateur radio operator and have found it a very nice radio for the price. Been using it up the hills with a 70cm and 2m combined beam on a tripod. Great fun and the display screen is very good and easily readable. Radio computer software called CHIRP works a treat with it for simple programming of the radio. The antenna that came with it works well. Although, I have bought a tribander antenna with a female SMA connection and this has got me some good long distant contacts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good radio for ATC listeners
*by A***K on 23 January 2026*

Good radio, a bit fiddly programming the frequencies in but now able to listen to ATC both planes on approach and on the ground. However did have to return a radio as it was faulty and turned itself off. Second one seems to be working faultless
