Well, I'm updating this review, but it's because this radio is great. I've literally had it turned on (with a few minor power outages) for over two years now, 24/7. Still working, still sounds great. Doesn't get hot, doesn't have any issues. I would strongly suggest this radio. KI7NZW

First off, I am NOT an expert by any means; I am a complete novice, so please keep that in mind when reading my review.
Unit looks durable, not sure though as I haven't used it in a vehicle or such as of yet. Sound quality seems good; I can hear people clearly I am using this in conjunction with a Comet GP-3 antenna (mounted on top of my house). I am able to hit local repeaters easily, and on the local net people say that I sound very clear. My experience is that it takes a while to learn all the functions and buttons on the microphone.
Lastly, and quite possibly most importantly, I stress that this radio is only good for reception/transmission on the 2 meter band. For some reason, when I bought it, I thought that it would also RX/TX on 70 centimeter band. derp. It doesn't, and it's completely my fault for not doing more research. So I will probably eventually put this in my car or give it to a friend, and get at least a dual band radio.
So far, so good. If things stop working, I'll update this review.

Awesome!!!!!
This radio is excellent. The quality is top notch. I use this to talk on my local repeaters and It does so wonderfully. The audio is very loud and crystal clear. This radio is easy to program with in 5 minutes after opening the box i was making my first contact. Over all i would recommend this unit as a first ham. It would work very well as a base station or mobile.
