$16.00 shipped. Looks to be the same quality as a Baofeng or Btech. Got it just to mess with so no hating. I know it is a POS and the best feature is the cool flashlight.https://a.aliexpress.com/_msYkjSu

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Let us know how you like it!
I don’t have a license so it wasn’t used for tx.
Side by side with the Btech UV-5R the reception seems the same. The build quality seems better.
It only was available with a European plug on the charger, but the HT has a microUSB port. Could also get an adapter for the euro plug.
Going in a drawer ..
People are reporting these radios to work fairly well and with a mod they will transmit all over the place.
That's easy, just need to use a USB 'box' for charging. I have several since most phones or other gadgets come with them.
Apparently experimental firmware is available.

This radio seems to be gaining popularity. A ham YT video channel, from the UK, did a review recently. The reviewer liked the radio, overall.
And all for less than $18.00 shipped.
