I would not even concider this a mid tier radio, mostly sold on Amazon and eBay its nothing more then a kids toy. For starters it has no ability to do repeater offsets, or programmable tones. A closer look at the company's website and its an Alibaba store front with the typical rebranded TYT, HYT and Baofang offerings as well as some new Chinese junk I have not seen before. I lookup the website registration and it was recently re-hosted and the ownership records updated in January of this year. I would not waste a single cent on this junk, I will stick to my Motorola gear.
