Screen is bright with numbers and characters having good contrast Sound output is clear and plenty loud enough Worked first time I powered it up (with antenna connected of course) Only complaint is user manual has some errors and is difficult to interpret. It seems like a foreign language with English words substituted for the "equivalent" foreign words. When I try to follow some of the directions for programming the memory channels, I can't always follow / understand the directions so can't get what I want. Despite the challenge with the manual, I was still able to enter a couple of frequencies into the displayed channels to be able to use the radio.

Pro's It small and simple to program if you use chirp or something like that. RT systems doesn’t make sense, it's half the cost of the radio. The fan turns on as necessary. If you build your own programming cable using an 3.3V/5V FTDI USB to serial adapter make sure you select the 3.3v option. Con's There is virtually no support. I still have not figured out what use the TMR function is, but since I can't figure it out, I guess I don't need it. There is no monitor button or function. The receiver sensitivity is not very high, good enough for local repeater use, but useless for simplex over paths that my TM742 handled easily. All in all, still useful considering the price.

When setting up the programming software you need to match the suffix letter on the package to the suffix letter of the software you are using. Very basic software for programming but it does the trick. The fuse is an uncommon type so I replaced the fuse holder. Good little Radio for the price.
