Nice little radio, good volume and easy too read display

Mini Car Radio Amateur (Ham) Radio, with Programming Cable & Software (without the "D"); I had wanted a nicer display for easier viewing in my vehicle

The display is nice and bright, you can change the colors, but the ones chosen by QYT are good.

They are maintained in memory as you would expect, but radio fails to honor stored value and display is always on

cu.usbserialthis allowed to run chirp under OS X to program the rig...i also fired up my Macbook Air under PIXEL Debian GNU/Linux, plugged in the included cable, ran chirp, copy and pasted my local repeater freqs in and was again done programming the rig in 3 minutes (nice to include NOAA WX and VHF CH09 for listening to the bridge tenders)measured 24W and 11W on high and low power on 147MHz using a dummy load and an analog watt metergood sound, mic input buttons work for entering freqs, including FM broadcast freqsgood sound from the the speakeri have found, to avoid the task of having to go through entering specific info via the menu for ABCD channels, is to leave those channels empty in chirp, start the memory channel list on channel 4, then select memory mode and dial in each desired channel into ABCD...

decent rig so far, so good after unpacking and examining the

The rig was working great for about a week, then this morning in the mist of a QSO, the radio emits an electrical burnt smell as if something was burning

Antenna PL-259, easy to program with the factory software, and just an all around great mobile rig.

Menu takes some getting used to and computer is needed to get the most of the available features an choices.

I would like to get this working to reduce standby power usage as well as to kill the night time glare.

It does NOT come from the factory with the correct features turned on/ off to work correctly without changes.

Chirp Support would be great, but as of 1/31/2017 it still isn't supported

For those that rely on CHIRP, I'd wait for CHIRP support.

Chirp support coming soon.

Once the radio was hooked up to my computer, programming was easy

I would like a smaller antenna that wouldn't hit the overhang on my Banks drive through, but a shorter antenna means degraded performance

Great very sensitive receiver but strong selectivity.

Unfortunately, in this case, the less flashy QYT model outshines its fancier brother

With the great customer service i am happy to own one of these compared to 200-300+ other radios.

Hi, I recently bought this new radio, it came with a missing part, contacted the seller, they agreed to send a new one, rapid response, good customer service, now on this radio, you need software to program the radio, otherwise will be a pain to program, don't get me wrong, it is a good radio compact and very well built,i I liked the display, once you get used to it no problem operating.

Otherwise, it has enough power to work okay on both bands out here in the country with good audio reports

My contacts reported clear audio from me and the speaker on my end was loud and clear as well

and I love the loud speaker audio in car.

I get full quieting reports (and good audio) on the local repeaters.

The radio has a easily read display, produces sufficient audio to hear in a noisy car, and enough power to reach the repeaters and good line of sight

The hand mic is comfortable and normal sized, if a bit large

The size of this radio is ideal for installing into my Ford Escape

I used chirp to program the radio, the software from manufacturer restricts the NAME display size but chirp allowed "Weather" and displays fine

I get full quieting reports (and good audio) on the local repeaters.

I've so far gotten good audio reports and everything seems to be working pretty well with the radio

I am getting good audio reports from my contacts and the received audio is more than adequate

It serves it's purpose and signal reports have all been good
