eHam.net reviews like most other reviews tells it like it is, "a great
little radio".


When ratings on eHam for a $25 radio are similiar as the Drake R8B than you
know the eHam ratings don't mean squat!

Oh boy....now you guys want to compare Drakes, Icoms, Kenwoods etc to a
little portable made in China.

He is a Troll.

If a radio does everything its supposed to do at good performance to
low price ratio, should it not desrve a 4 or 5?, Or is it the price of
the radio that makes the ratings?

No. A normal expectation would be for an item to work as advertised as a
minimum requirement for purchase. The rating compares an item to its
competitors based on price or in other words is a value comparison. In
order to make a logical comparison then requires that you place an item
in a cost category.

Should a Timex watch not get a 5 rating for working just about forever
for about $30?

But it will not forever.

But I know..... a Timex is not a good as a Rolex.

What does "as good" mean? The Timex will not last as long but as long as
it is working may be just as accurate as the rolex.
