there is a 2m/440 and a 2m/220 version -


I have one and several others in the local club have them. They work very
well , especially for around $ 100 to $ 120.

You do need the programming cable with them. They can be programmed without
it, but it is so much easier to use the computer. If you get the cable,
make sure you push itf something like it is not communicating. If you do
, check the com port and make sure it is really pluged in all the way.

There is a free program from them that will program it, but a beter one for
free is called KG-UV Commander.
