I have the earlier non-SSB version. It should come with a magnifying glass and a rubber-tipped chopstick. The magnifying glass to see all those little icons on the screen and the chopstick to push only one button at a time! Good little radio though.

Good review. I have seen a YT video review of this radio and the reviewer did enjoy the ability to direct enter the frequency using the keypad. My problem is with that BL-5C rechargeable battery. I am not a fan of portable radios that cannot accept AA batteries. I have three small portables. Two of them run on 2xAA batteries and those radios can run 8-10 hrs a day for months before needing to be replaced. The third radio I have runs on the BL-5C battery and runs maybe a week after a full charge if I use it 8hrs a day. It's the Retekess V115. The only reason I keep this radio is for it's decent audio, MP3 function and ability to record off the air or with a built in microphone. If it did not have those features I'd of given it away.
