Unbelievable! I'm not a fan of Chinese-made radios, but I have to give them credit for filling a niche left by Kenwood and not filled by them or any other manufacturer. Pretty good price, as well. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 9/18/2014 7:22 PM, Chris Boone wrote: > About damn time!!! I do more on 220/440 than 2 so this would be perfect!!

Worse they have imposed the recent narrow band modulation on part 97 radios where we haven't needed that and some users do have wimpy audio using the Chinese handhelds. I know at least one dealer that last year quit handling them because they didn't meet specs in his shop. The more versatile radio is most likely to have spurious mixer products and excessive harmonics just because of the extra frequency coverage. 73, Jerry, K0CQ On 9/19/2014 3:48 PM, Jim Lowman wrote: > Some guys are slamming this radio on the QRZ page of Facebook already, > yet no one has even received one to be able to evaluate it.

These are the 2 bands I use the most. So I will sure take a good look at this radio. I haven't bought Chinese radios either, but The Japanese haven't fulfilled this need . So this may be the first Chinese radio I buy. 73 Blake KA5POW -----Original Message----- From: 222mhz [mailto:222mhz-bounces at mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Chris Boone Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2014 9:22 PM To: 2nT at yahoogroups.com; 222-225MHz at yahoogroups.com; 222mhz at mailman.qth.net Subject: [222mhz] A new TRIband FM mobile (Yes with 220 in it!!)
