Still trying everything out. I ordered the green and received yellow, but thats ok. yellow looks good as well. Some things are tricky to program from the radio but it works great from the computer. The software is available for download at Abbree website, but you can also use the free Chirp program, it has a profile for this radio. Same cable I use on Baofeng and others worked fine, just a straight thru cable with no chip I believe. one thing I don't really like but not a big deal, you can't have it in frequency mode and change the channel, pressing the up down arrows in frequency mode just changes the frequency. if you are using a repeater, make sure it's in repeater mode or the offset will not be applied. You have to long press the RP key toggle freq mode. I haven't programmed much in yet, I have one local repeater that will acknowledge that I am hitting the repeater but it seems there is a slight feedback squeak when I unkey. Have not got a signal report from anyone yet, I just got the radio today. The screen is useless in sunlight, you can't see a thing, but you can always turn on voice prompt to tell you what channel you are on. Only other issue is I am in USA and it came with an EU wall plug, and adapter would have been nice, but the fact that is is USB C, makes it a non issue because I just grabbed a USB C cable and charged it from my computer. My phone charger is a rapid charger and I don't know if you would want to charge this with a rapid charger, you need to be careful with LiOn batteries. For the price, it's an alright radio. Really light weight, lighter than a UV5R. I will share a few pics of the screen inside and outside. one pic is of the screen on inside, one is screen off inside, and the other is screen on outside. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase, it's a sleek looking radio. Gonna try and do a video review on YouTube, if I can I will add it here later.
