I have seen that info but not much else I don't know if it is a good radio or not or if it repeater capable or what.

Great radio, similar to Linton and Weiwei's.

You'll find some reviews on eham.com and 446user.co.uk. Look at the specs carefully if you're interested in DCS (DPL), some of these radios can ony do CTCSS (PL). Also, there's no mention of its resistance to water and dust intrusion, although it looks pretty rugged.

Is it type-accepted by FCC?

 

[Astrak]

Did any of you get one from China(Tywong888) on eBay

I really doubt it's type approved/accepted, and in the UK you'd be breaking the law by importing it, using it (unless you're a licenced ham) and its pretty dumb to use it on the PMR 446 channels.

Looks like a knock-off of the Motorola EX600XLS. I've seen these on ebay and heard some horrible things about them and Linton products in general, so beware...

I got one of the JingTong UHF portables and it works real good. I use it as a backup portable in my truck in case my Spectra stops working (which it never has).
