at the moment my review is its ok. gets a lot of interference breaking the 9 squelch.

My only complaint is that the squelch is a little too aggressive, even on the lowest setting (aside from off of course).

The problems are it has poor squelch that i leave at 9 which is usually pretty

It takes finesse to program from the keypad and the squelch settings are useless but it is a $30 HT.

It was like the squelch was set too high, but no matter what setting I put it on, I could not hear most signals without holding down the MONI button.

The two biggest downfalls of this radio for me are the receiver is not more selective and sensitive and that it has a horrible squelch tail

The squelch doesn't seem to knock it out

There battery life is not as great as these with extended battery but there receive is better, squelch is better, come with a better antenna you can buy for

Leaves a nasty squelch noise when you un-key over repeaters.

The squelch is a problem as it came, but there is a website that has a program to change the range and it now works well.

The different LED’s are nice

The UV-5R is still the gold standard for a CHEAP but effective H/T.

Great little H/T
