I've gone through the reviews and find it confusing. I don't think I've
ever seen a radio with such polarized reviews. People seem to think
they're great or that they're junk.

The inadequate Chinese power supply seems to be one of the biggest
concerns, as version 1.7 firmware has apparently fixed a lot of the
problems.

The extreme width of the coverage makes this an appealing set. I will do
more research.


It's the width of the coverage that makes them operate rather poorly across the
spectrum.

Everything becomes a compromise.
