Some good, and some bad. Radio has a good, solid feel to it. Display is clear and pretty much looks like the one on my GM-30. The squelch sucks! The radio came preprogrammed with ctcss tones on every gmrs channel. Why? Also, in narrow band. So, you have to go into the menu and turn off the tone in every channel, as well as turn to wide band in every frickin channel!
Got mine a couple days ago. Agree with the better-than-usual quality feel. The squelch is pretty hilarious.
My major issue is I can’t turn off the scanning flag on the NOAA channels. It’s not a menu item on the radio but it is in the software (depending on the channel). Even tried to edit the XML but it mocks me.

Other than that it’s totally useable.
