I have raised an inquiry with BuyTwoWayRadios to learn what the duty cycle rating of this product is at each of its 4 power levels. They have acknowledged the question and have committed to getting an answer and letting me know. I will post their response when I receive it. Michael WRHS965 KE8PLM

They are great little radios though the accessorys are a lil pricy. Chirp will NOT program these radios, you will need Icoms CS-F2000 software and a cable. The software is usually $45-55 depending on if you get a dowloaded version, or a CD, or CD with programing cable. Work got the cable and software from here: https://www.theantennafarm.com/catalog/cs-f1000-2000-usb-7705 So if you need the cable and software, and everything to work on windows 10, I can say this will work for you.

With a pretty decent receiver. That radio should not be bothered much by intermod issues... good choice. Unfortunately I don't know much about that radio, but just like JohnE stated, it appears like its a good handheld. G.

its a good basic hand held

This comes up ALL the time. IMO nobody can tell what radio you are using when you use it. Be it a 30$ CCR. Or 700$ vertex. Unless you are bragging about it. To think if someone is licensed in 2 or 3 radio services that you would have 3 different radios that can all do the same thing doesn’t pass the straight face test. Plus enforcement....big joke. Before you get anybody showing up at your door step you would have had to do something serious! Follow your heart do what you think is right and keep your mouth shut. Make sure your transmissions are clean and “Follow” the rules.
