Well I havnt been able to field it yet, (just got it today) I can already say it sounds way nicer than those motorola talkabout 700's I have been using up till now. It heavier, but practically the same size. The screenshots didnt prepare me for just how small this puppy is.
I also picked up a pair of these
headsets too. A 2pin for this radio, and a 1pin to try on the old motorolas. For 12 bucks they are phenominal headsets. Low profile and they grip the ear really well. heh, did the "headbanger" thing to make sure and it stuck on nicely. I'm feeling confident that it wont pop off midgame.
Using that link you gave me I have already programmed in the 22 standard channels. I even differentiated channels 1-13 as 2w low power channels and 14-22 as 4w high power channels. Its easy as cake once you have the manual to decipher the buttons. lol
