the unit itself operated exceptionally well via the manual programming

The unit will get so hot you can't touch it

unit works well on local repeaters and on simplex good with the more power and a little mag-mount auto antenna

This unit is really good.

Unfortunately my unit had issues with the receiver on 2M. Trying to hold a conversation became impossible as the receiver would drop to dead air every every 5-10 seconds and be silent for a few seconds, then pick up again
