    128 customers mention90 positive38 negative

    Customers like the sound quality of the radio. They say the audio is loud and clear, it has strong reception quality, and it picks up railroad communications loud and clearly. The volume is ample, and locking out is quick and easy if needed. It is capable of listening up to 18GHz, has good sensitivity and noise rejection, and has decent listening times.

    "...comes in with full bars (signal strength indicator) and the audio is loud and clear considering the small speaker and my using it indoors with the..." Read more

    "...Clear Audio Quality: The sound clarity is commendable, even in areas where signal strength can be a challenge...." Read more

    "...Only downsides: max volume is still a bit quiet when trying to listen over a NASCAR engine, but you can still hear it fine overall...." Read more

    "...It is capable of listening up to 18Ghz. Of course nothing really goes up that high, but you can even analyze wifi signals with it. Lots of fun!..." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the radio. Some mention that it's easy to program, find stations, and program them in manually. They appreciate the intuitive software and user-friendly interface. However, others say that it is not easy to learn and operate, daunting at first, confusing, and tedious.

    Customers are mixed about the value of the radio. Some mention that it's a great buy at the price, while others say that it was a waste of money.

    "...HF frequencies though which I plan on getting since this device was so cheap and easy to use...." Read more

    "...Also great for RR monitoring. Not so great for modern PD’s as most have gone digital already it seems and this won’t pick those up." Read more

    "...Just adds a lot to the enjoyment of the hobby. Great purchase, good value, and a very satisfied customer." Read more

    211 customers mention131 positive80 negative

    Customers are mixed about the reception of the radio.

    "...services, aviation, or other frequencies, the reception has always been crisp and clear...." Read more

    "...It hardly picked up any signal. It must be a very close range option. I was hoping it would scan and find any frequency that you can listen to...." Read more

    "...However, unlike turning a priority channel on, normal reception is unaffected while receiving other channels...." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the battery life of the radio. Some mention it's awesome, while others say it didn't last long. Some say it charges batteries for 14 hours, yet less than that maybe a few hours of listening.
