Hi Jim, great to see another video from you, I must admit I was surprised to see so much power output from the radio. In the past I have scoped out the FCC IDs of a number of broadly similar radios and to see what they actually gained approval as. A few I looked up seemed to be approved as scanning receivers, completely ignoring the transmitter section. A radio I have played with recently is the Quansheng UV-K5, there is a community developing firmware for it and you can actually update the firmware with just the programming cable and a web browser. It definitely has some unique capabilities with the alternative firmware. 73

This is a wonderful value for the money and performs really good. I keep it in my backpack while trekking/hiking. The two issues I've had with mine was a muffled sound when transmitting through it and hearing what it sounds like on the other end and the antenna doesn't have great range. I pulled out the fabric piece and opened up the mic hole a little bit which has shown a little better audio, and tried using a coil center-loaded antenna but what worked best was just a simple stainless telescoping antenna. (I used whatever the Diamond brand antenna they offer) 👍
