Surprising, considering the cost for the whole package. It looks pretty, but I have to ask, how does the plastic feel?

They can go down to 15 meters with the IJV mod and CW key with the mic jack. A dandy QRP rig.

To me, they seem more like Yaesu FT-60. not like the Baofeng stuff.

These little radios are becoming quite the popular toy. The new accessory board that gives the HF access is making this a tempting option for a portable.

I touch an FT-65 once, it feels like that, maybe better 😀

Here is an interesting write up on this radio. At first I thought, why not,? Afterwards (at least for me) I said, why?

They only put out reasonable power within the original intended bands. If you transmit on 15m you will measure power but it will be in the VHF band like the 5th or 7th harmonic. the actual power out on 15m might only be a few mw.
