Based on the photos here the display looks very dim like the typical Baofeng ones. Is it that dim? The mic location is a stupid move on there part. At $75 it seems to be over priced, do you have that feeling as well?
Never said it didn't work, I have run FM on 10 many times. Its cute on 11 meters because its new and a lot of ops have never used it and know very little about it.
At $589 its in my opinion a complete waste of money. They are much better radios that will run circles around this one. One that comes to mind is the ICOM 718.
I have a couple of Anytone radios, one uhf and the other vhf (1.25cm). They both work great but honestly the build quality is nowhere near the big three (Icom, Yaesu, and Kenwood)
I think that GMRS is becoming popular because radios have become more plentiful and the FCC lowered the cost of the license. I always thought that $75 was silly.
So which are you? I started in 11 meters in 1973 and left for good in 1990. I left mostly because the of crap here, it was all about who could key over who.
