I have 4 of these little HTs and the are great… Well worth your time to improve our website…

I don’t own one of these but have a friend that has several. He loves them. One in each vehicle and a few in the house. All programmed for various repeaters.
I own 2 of them but have not yet programmed either and have only put an hour of use onto one of them thus far. The RX is amazing on both. The nice thing about them is I don’t mind my grandkids touching and playing with them, I can not say the same about my other radios. They certainly have the fit and finish of a unit costing 10x the price.
I’m so close! LOL!
@WA5AZQ You are! You are only 8 points away!!! In fact, me tagging you might have just pushed you over the top. As the contest stands currently it looks like the next runner up might also be a Mike K5TMW. We will know soon enough.
Nice! As of this writing I’m 1 away!
I made it! I don’t know exactly what I did but I found a few new things I had not read yet I guess.
@WA5AZQ Congratulations Michael, you are the first winner! Keep up with your great Youtube content, I have been enjoying it since your return. I will get your shipping address via email to send this out to you.
those are pretty cool little radios..
