Comments: Good build quality and has an FM radio built in. Reception quality on FM radio was very poor with supplied antenna but this will obviously be a compromise considering that the antenna is cut for 400 MHz. Maybe works better on VHF version. This radio actually speaks to you! Voice prompts on the menus along with numerical confirmations. Feature can be disabled if needed. Chinese or English language is selectable. Radio is very sensitive and works well across it's given range. No scrambler or in review model but ANI appears to work. A "Plus" version has appeared recently and this has the scrambler function built inside. The only problem with this model is that I haven't worked out how to put it into PC Programming mode! Can anyone help?
