Bottom line first: You get what you pay for. In an industry where a couple hundred will get you a decent radio, paying fifty for a little yellow one would lead one to expect it to be less than fully effective. I so expected and was very pleasantly surprised to find this little radio much better than my limited expectation. It is a little hard to learn how to program, but there are a number of good runthroughs on Youtube and a community of experienced fans all ready to help. With all that I was able to get the local repeaters loaded in and I got on the air for the first time with my fresh Tech License, and am now one of the guys. No Elmer yet, but I can recommend these fun little radios, with only the warning that it takes a bit of learning to get it fully up to speed.

Also if you are going to use the computer to program it, ignore the cheap cords and use a decent Kenwood one and you'll keep more hair.
