### ⭐ Cheap, rubbish and waste of money! Go get yourself a decent radio rather then this....
*by J***Y on 8 August 2025*

Cheap packaging, feels cheap and light, not much to this radio, volume is on Max but its very quiet sounding. Buttons clunky and don't feel great. get a antenna not worthy to be called an antenna! not happy with this cheap junk! Only good thing about it is you can mod it with custom firmware thats it!
