    nice little radio but the reception is HORRIBLE. On the AM band I get 1 maybe 2 stations.. same with the FM. For the money that this thing retails at go with something with higher quality. I haven’t used the GMRS function on this radio yet but judging by the lack of reception with the AM/FM radio I probably shouldn’t bother.

    This radio is everything I hoped it would be. It is a GMRS radio base station that will operate on AC power, DC power, battery, and dynamo crank. In addition to the GMRS two-way capability it receives AM/FM and weather with severe weather alert.

    It’s compact size allows it to be easily carried.

    I bought this for work. I use the radio in my postal vehicle. It works great. I got the brand from another carrier who has one too. That’s all I use it for, though.

    Use has been limited to two farm trips but worked excellent so far, seems to have little to no problem on transmitting over hilly terrain. Battery charge use time was limited first time but since has expanded.
