Thanks to the folks that "liked" my post, Retevis, WWDX and Moleculo, I have a new toy to play with.

The radio arrived nicely packed with a charging stand, USB-a/USB-c charging cord, belt clip and carry strap. The battery charged in about an hour using a cell phone charger.

The radio feels like a quality build, heavy enough to feel sturdy but still lightweight. The on/off-volume and tuning knobs are tight and feel high quality. All buttons have a very solid feel. The radio has a hand-mic port on the side and the antenna connector is very solid and could easily be used to connect a handheld Yagi or Moxon built for the GMRS freqs.

Menus are simple to access for all setting changes, display is bright, adjustable and easy to read.

The radio can be charged using either the sturdy charging stand or the USB cable can plug directly into the battery itself.

Up to now I have been strictly a HF DX operator so I have a bit of learning to do regarding repeaters and such and can't offer much in the way of an operational review on that stuff at this time. I did make one simplex contact (yes, I got the GMRS license) with someone about 5-6 miles away and received a good signal and audio report. No doubt that this radio works quite well in all modes and will come in useful. It may push me to explore the 2m and 70cm Amateur bands which I've never played on.

Seems like a very well built HT to me, well worth the modest retail price they can be had for.

Have no idea what I'm doing but I also got myself a GMRS license and a cheap set of Baofeng K5 Plus radios on the way. Sadly noted after the fact I have no repeaters in our area so short of overpowered walkie talkies I'm not sure why I did it. Maybe I'll get lucky and hear someone as you did. Nice looking radio.

    Congrats to GlocknSpiel for winning the Black Friday Radioddity QT60 Pro giveaway contest!
  • @ Deon:
    Good day, I have an Icom IC910H radio. I want to program a memory with split frequency tone on TX only and NO tone on RX,. Is this possible to do from the face of the radio? I don't have the interface to connect to a computer.
  • @ crappykraco:
    @Deon very unlikely to get a response here. You are better off starting a thread on the topic.
