Got one this week after seeing one a week or so back. For the money not a bad radio. The manual which was provided was some what worse than piss-poor. After some assumptions and such, I now have the radio working on the local repeaters that I need, the NOAA weather stations and as a bonus though not legal, the FRS channels.

The radio is type 90 accepted.

Trying to program it with the key pad is a ROYAL PAIN in the Tushie. Get one with the programming cable and programmer software. A freeware profram called commander is available and works better than the Wouxun software.

All in all, for a $160.00 not a bad little radio.
