I ordered mine and paid for it via PayPal even though it showed out of stock on BTWRs website. I figured if I waited to get notified when in stock they would be out of stock before I placed an order. I had to wait about two weeks. Mine works better with a stock Baofeng antenna than it does with the one that comes with it. I also have a Nagoya 771G I use for tough areas to hit distant repeaters
