I love mine. Best radio I've had yet. The antenna is a possible weak point. It feels like it may break if hit hard and isn't flexible enough to graze off an impact. A friend who also bought one, had his in-ear PTT fail out of the box(only transmits on 1 channel). Once you get a handle on the programming its pretty easy. Lots of great info on miklor
